Abstract
The calculated structures of a supported RH6 cluster (depicted) demonstrate that protons of surface OH groups of the oxide support migrate onto the cluster. This migration results in the oxidation of metal atoms that are in close contact with the support. The energy released by this reverse hydrogen spillover is estimated to be 120 kj mol-1 per OH group.
