Molecular Surface Chemistry: Reactions of Gas‐Phase Metal Clusters

Gas phase studies of metal dimer complexes, M2Ln+, where M=Zn and Mn, and L=pyrrole and furan, for n in the range 1–5

“…However, because of their importance in polymerization, in catalysis and in biomedical studies [10], quantitative data on such properties as binding energies are becoming available. Most notably, Dunbar and co-workers have investigated the binding energies and geometries for a number of main-group and transition-metal cations coordinated with pyrrole and furan complexes [7,8]; transition metals cations being the primary focus because of the link with catalysis [11,12]. Since the first step in heterogeneous catalysis involves the adsorption of one or more * Corresponding author.…”

A density functional study of bare and hydrogenated platinum clusters

“…On the experimental side, molecular beam techniques have been used to investigate the hydrogen molecule interaction with metal surfaces [19]. The chemical reactivity of metal clusters in gas phase with hydrogen and deuterium has been studied with the laser vapor-ization technique [20]. In a most recent study, Andrews et al [21] have investigated the reaction of Pt atoms with H 2 in a laser-ablation experiment and have also performed some DFT calculations.…”

An Efficient and Eco-Friendly Nanocrystalline Zinc Oxide Catalyst for One-Pot, Three Component Synthesis of New Ferrocenyl Aminophosphonic Esters Under Solvent-Free Condition

“…In general, heterogeneous catalysts offer higher surface area and lower coordinating sites, which are responsible for the higher catalytic activity. [62][63][64] Furthermore, heterogeneous catalysis has the advantage of high atom efficiency, easy product purification, and reusability of the catalyst. However, until now, the investigation of nano particles as catalysts is of limited scope for this transformation.…”
