The mechanism of acetylene hydrogenation catalyzed by Pd₈ cluster was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) method at B3PW91/GEN level. The calculation results showed that H₂ dissociated into H atoms wherever it adsorbed and the H atoms then adsorbed onto the surface of the Pd₈ cluster. The dissociation of H₂ is necessary for the hydrogenation of acetylene to ethane catalyzed by the Pd₈ cluster. The mechanism of acetylene hydrogenation is dependent on two isomers: acetylene and vinylidene on the Pd₈ cluster (Pd₈(2H)－CH＝CH and Pd₈(2H)－C＝CH₂). The two pathways follow a multistep and successive process to complete the hydrogenation of acetylene. However, a difference exists between Pd₈(2H)－CH＝CH and Pd₈(2H)－C＝CH₂. For the Pd₈(2H)－CH＝CH pathway, dissociated H atoms add to the C atom of acetylene on the Pd₈ cluster in different steps until they produce ethane. The Pd₈(2H)－CH＝CH₂ pathway is complex and proceeds by two different transition states to create ethylidyne, and then H atoms add to the C atom until hydrogenation ceases. Many valuable C₂ organic intermediate compounds are produced during the process and some of them transform by proton translocation, which connects the Pd₈(2H)－CH＝CH and Pd₈(2H)－C＝CH₂ pathways.
