Global optimisation of catalytically relevant noble metal mono and bimetallic clusters is performed directly on an MgO substrate with DFT. Charge is distributed locally upon the cluster, providing a means to atomically control binding and reaction sites, as found for CO molecules on Pd/Ag/Pt.

Global geometry optimization and time-dependent density functional theory calculations have been used to study the structural evolution and optical properties of AgnAun (n = 2–6) nanoalloys both as individual clusters and as clusters stabilized with the fragments of DNA of different size.
