Abstract:Well-resolved Nb n − clusters are produced and reacted with ethene and propene via a downstream flow tube reactor. Interestingly, the Nb n − clusters readily react with ethene and propene to form dehydrogenation products; however, Nb 15 − shows up in the mass spectra with prominent mass abundance indicating its inertness to react with olefins. For this cluster, we conduct photoelectron velocity map imaging (VMI) experiments and verify the stability of Nb 15 − within a highly symmetrical rhombic dodecahedron st… Show more
