The clusters contain 0 and 1 hydroxyl groups at the titanium center, noted as Ti<sub>bulk</sub>Si<sub>4</sub>Si<sub>6</sub> and Ti<sub>suf</sub>(OH)Si<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>6</sub>, respectively, were used to simulate the Ti(IV) center in the silica matrix. The interactions of CuCl with SiO<sub>2</sub>-TiO<sub>2</sub> mixed oxide were systematically studied by the first-principle DFT-GGA calculations. The calculation results show that incorporation of Ti atoms into silica can enhance the interaction of CuCl with the oxide support, leading to more stable CuCl/SiO<sub>2</sub>-TiO<sub>2</sub> catalysts. In addition, the frontier molecular orbital shows that the HOMO orbits of the CuCl/Ti<sub>bulk</sub>Si<sub>4</sub>Si<sub>6 </sub>and CuCl/Ti<sub>suf</sub>(OH)Si<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>6</sub> adsorbed clusters were mainly contributed by Cu atoms, while the LUMO orbits were contributed by Ti atoms. The calculation results were in accordance with the experimental facts.
