  1. The adsorption energies for the dissociated monomer configurations decrease with increasing distortion of the hydroxylated octahedron, reflected in the decreasing O–Ru–O bond angle along the octahedron's c axis (rows 1–3). The O–O distance between the OHads and the Osurf is similar for all configurations. The adsorption energy of the OH overlayers monotonically decreases with increasing coverage (rows 4 to 7)
