This study examined the adsorption of reactants (NH3 and OH) and intermediates (NH2, NH, N and H2O) formed during the oxidation of ammonia by hydroxyl on platinum. Specifically, four clusters were used to model the catalytic surface in the Pt(111) orientation. Structural, electronic and vibrational properties were calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The molecules resided in the favored positions predicted by prior experimental observations and DFT calculations, while the adsorption energies followed the trend: H2O < NH3 < OH < NH2 < NH
