44. 0 for all the systems discussed in this paper) is always assigned to the nearest atom analogous to defining a Wigner-Seitz primitive cell in solids. Relative changes of the local charge, e.g., upon adsorption of a molecule to a cluster, or after removing or adding an electron, are more meaningful than the absolute values. We have tested that the method used here produces similar patterns of intracluster charge distribution as other methods commonly used, e.g., Mulliken analysis.
