The four sites are occupied by (a) no spectator: all four active sites can take part in the catalysis, (b) one bridge site blocked by CO*, (c) one bridge site and one cus site (closer to the bridge site), and (d) two cus sites and one bridge site filled with CO*. Schematic representation of the active site occupation by CO* spectators is given below the molecular model, where X denotes an empty site. cus sites are yellow and bridge sites are green. Further, other CO* configurations were also studied as follows: cus CO X bridge X X cus X CO bridge CO X cus X X bridge CO CO cus bridge CO X CO CO

(g) 50% CO* coverage (distant bridge and cus sites i.e. far). (h) 75% CO* coverage (all bridge sites and half cus sites). (i) 75% CO* coverage (all cus sites and half bridge sites).

The largest positive step at 0 V-RHE would require the most reducing condition to proceed. Steps showing negative free energy change are assumed to occur spontaneously.
