Abstract

Type of bond is vital to understand the mechanism of interaction between corresponds atoms. We used three kinds of method
to determine the type of bond between diatomic cluster of platinum and hydrogen: types of element, electronegativity
and electron distribution. In this work, we found that the results from these three methods are not unanimously agreed
with each other for bond type forming in platinum-hydrogen diatomic cluster. Thus, we conclude that the type of bond
is hybrid of both: mainly covalent and slightly ionic.
