31. For simplicity in the discussion of chemical effects, we plot in Figure 3 the results from a non-spin-polarized calculation. Spin polarization causes only a tiny splitting of the levels and a decrease of 0.05-0.10 eV in the total energy.
32. For a description of the d-band model, which rationalizes the features of atomic bonding to transition metal surfaces, see, for example: Hammer, B.; Nørskov, J. K. Adv. Catal. 2000, 45, 71. The chemistry underlying the adsorbate-metal interaction is analogous in the cases of the cluster and extended surface substrates, involving the interaction with either a discrete set or a continous band of d states.

40. For the horizontal case, two conformers (which differ by the fact of the Au atoms binding at either nearest-neighbor or next-nearest-neighbor surface oxygen anions, respectively) were considered, having similar binding energies; for simplicity, only one of them is shown in the figure.
