Facile CO bond cleavage on polynuclear vanadium nitride clusters V₄N₅⁻

Abstract

Identifying the structural configurations of precursors for CO dissociation is fundamentally interesting and industrially important in fields, e.g., Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Herein, we demonstrated that CO could be dissociated on polynuclear...

Solar driven CO2 hydrogenation to HCOOH on (TiO2)n (n = 1–6) atomic clusters

“…To date, there has been substantial experimental and computational research dedicated to investigating the geometrical structures and electronic properties of transition metal compounds NCs, including sulfides, carbides, nitrides, and oxides both monoxides and dioxides. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Among them, TiO 2 stands out as a highly versatile material, widely employed in various technologies due to its exceptional photophysical and photochemical characteristics. 31 For instance, Yu and co-workers utilized a cluster beam apparatus to produce cationic Ti x O y (x = 1-8; y = 0-4) clusters in the gas phase.…”
