Screening of O atoms adsorbed on transition metals is accomplished in part by {ital d}-electron redistribution in near-surface, inter-metal-layer bonds. First-principles calculations imply that this is the source of O{close_quote}s preferences for fcc adsorption sites on Pt(111) and hcp hollows on Ru(0001). In both instances, O prefers the site for which screening weakens interlayer bonds the least. Which site this is depends on whether the {ital d} states repopulated by screening are nonbonding or antibonding. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
