These data were produced in course of a dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) study investigating the effect of commonly used support materials (MgO, C, CeO2) on small gold particles with up to 19 atoms. The Excel file (.xlsx) contains the energies of the supported metal clusters (in eV), the energies of the isolated clusters (in eV), adsorption energies (in eV), cohesion energies (in eV), detachment energies (in eV), average cluster-surface distances (in Å), average gold-gold distances (in Å), and charge of the metal clusters (in e). These values were used to create the plots shown in the article. The mismatch_calculator.py Python 3 script was used to calculate the geometric mismatch between the cluster interface and support surface. Research results based upon these data are published at http://doi.org/10.1039/C9CP03066B
