Reactions of Cobalt Cluster Anions with Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon Monoxide

Abstract: The chemical reactivity of cobalt cluster anions, Co n -(n ) 2-8), toward O 2 , N 2 , and CO is investigated by flow tube reactor kinetics. The reactivity is highest for the reactions with O 2 and intermediate for CO, while the clusters are nearly inert toward N 2 . Only the largest clusters studied, Co 7 -and Co 8 -, show any evidence for reaction with nitrogen by addition of N 2 at very slow rates. Reactions with O 2 have rapid rate coefficients that are largely independent of cluster size and lead to extens… Show more

“…Studying the oxidation process with gasphase transition-metal clusters can provide quantitative data concerning the elementary steps that make up the complicated surface processes and thus help elucidate surface science at a molecular level. The reactivity of cobalt anion clusters, Co n − ͑n =2-8͒, toward O 2 was reported by Kapiloff and Ervin 16 using a flow tube reactor. 8͒ cluster cations with O 2 , as well as the reactions of Fe ͑Ref.…”

“…The sizespecific reactivity of Co n -to CO has been explained in terms of an effective interaction between the molecular orbitals of CO and the d-orbitals of Co n -. 32,33 It is also well recognized that charge transfer from the metal surface to the anti-bonding orbital of CO 2 induces the chemisorption of CO 2 in a bent form. 9,34,35 These results suggest that the size-dependent reactivity observed here is related to the electronic structures of Co n -although no obvious correlation with the sizedependent behavior of photoelectron spectra of Co n -was found.…”
