The interaction of oxygen molecule with Ni44(111) model surface to which the molecule approaches is studied by calculating the relevant DOS and COOP with the tight-binding EHT method. It is found that the dissociative adsorption of oxygen takes place as a result of electron transfer from the Ni d${pi}$ orbital to the antibonding 1${pi}_g$ orbital of the oxygen molecule. This finding is noteworthy to contrast with the case of Ni(100) surface in which the electron transfer takes place from the Ni d${delta}$ orbital of the nickel surface.
