The spin of the electron is decisive to understand electronic interactions in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly because the stabilizing Quantum Spin Exchange Interactions (QSEI) are always a significant contribution to the energy of magnetic catalysts and absorbates during reaction events. Cooperative QSEI in compositions with multi-atomic open-shell configurations (QSEI-OS) maximize the influence of the spin dependent potentials, determining the electronic properties of magnetic materials and shaping their reactivity. In this paper, we explain that because of the intra- and inter- atomic QSEI-OS, high-spin (3d5) antiferromagnetic (AFM) metals like Cr and Mn can be more inert (or “noble”) than Au itself towards the formation of covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms. AFM QSEI-OS lead to a relative higher destabilization of the unoccupied (spin-)orbitals (Mott upper band) in Cr and Mn compared with other metals. In oxygen adsorption, QSEI-OS lead to the reduction of the electronic repulsions in occupied 3d5 orbitals with a concomitant decrease of the chemisorption enthalpy of the oxygen atoms. Since hydrogen and oxygen atoms are the most important intermediates in relevant catalytic processes like oxygen reduction reaction and water splitting, we observe how the effect of QSEI-OS needs to be properly incorporated as a critical factor to understand the activity of catalysts based on magnetic metals.
