Here, we present the dynamical aspects and the role of internal energy redistribution
(IVR) in the reactivity of noble metal clusters towards O2. We show on the example of
Ag3O2
- / Ag3O2 / Ag3O2
+ that NeNePo spectroscopy
carried out under zero electron kinetic energy (ZEKE) conditions can be a powerful
tool to investigate the geometry relaxation and IVR induced by photodetachment in real time.
Furthermore, we demonstrate that difference in the reactivity of Ag6
- and Au6
-
towards O2 can be attributed to different nature of the IVR process. Dissipative IVR
in Ag6
- favors fast complex stabilization, whereas resonant IVR found for Au6
- might
be an important factor determining the catalytic activity of Au6
- cluster in the CO oxidation. 相似文献

Bimetallic silver-gold clusters are well suited to study
changes in metallic versus
ionic properties involving charge transfer as a function of
the size and the composition. We present structures, ionization
potentials (IP) and vertical detachment energies (VDE) for
neutral and charged bimetallic
AunAgm (
2(n +
m)5) clusters obtained from
density functional level of theory. In the stable structures of
these clusters Au atoms assume positions which favor charge
transfer from Ag atoms. In clusters with equal numbers of hetero
atoms (n =
m = 1- 4) heteronuclear
bonding is preferred to homonuclear bonding, giving rise to
large values of ionization potentials. For larger clusters
(n=m=5, 10) stable structures do not favor
neither hetero bonding nor segregation into the single
components, although they exhibit more metallic than ionic
features. This remains valid also for
Au8Ag12 cluster
characterized by strong charge transfer to gold subunit. The
influence of doping of pure gold clusters with silver atoms on
VDE and IP values is discussed in context of their reactivity
towards O2 and CO molecules. As a
starting point we consider reactivity towards CO and
O2 molecules on the example of
AgAu- dimer. The results show that
the catalytic cycle can be fullfilled. 相似文献

Electronic states of gold nanoparticles in mordenite and their transformations under redox treatments have been studied by the methods of FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO and diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy. Different states of ionic and metallic gold were detected in the zeolite channels and on the external surface of the zeolite - Au+ and Au3+ ions, charged clusters , and neutral nanoparticles Aum. Catalytic tests of the samples revealed the existence of two types of active sites of gold in CO oxidation - gold clusters <2 nm (low-temperature activity) and gold nanoparticles (high temperature activity). 相似文献

Pt4
- catalyses the conversion of CO and
N2O to CO2 and N2 in the gas phase, as observed by Fourier
transform ion cyclotron (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. The partial pressures of
CO and N2O determine the extent of poisoning and the turnover numbers
that can be achieved. The catalytic conversion terminates as soon as two CO
are adsorbed on the cluster. With N2O, the reactivity of
Pt4O2
- and Pt4O3
- is reduced to 41% and
34% compared to Pt4O-, respectively, and with
Pt4O4
- this value is reduced to 1%. In contrast,
Pt4

theory calculations of Pt4
+/- with CO and N2O adsorbates
reveal significantly different stabilities of the reaction intermediates for

The decay pathway competition between monomer and dimer evaporation of photoexcited cluster ions Au
+
n, n = 2-27, has been investigated by photodissociation of size-selected gold clusters stored in a Penning trap. For n > 6 the two decay pathways are distinguished by their experimental signature in time-resolved measurements of the dissociation.
For the smaller clusters, simple fragment spectra were used. As in the case of the other copper-group elements, even-numbered
gold cluster ions decay exclusively by monomer evaporation, irrespective of their size. For small odd-size gold clusters,
dimer evaporation is a competitive alternative, and the smaller the odd-sized clusters, the more likely they decay by dimer
evaporation. In this respect, Au

Dissociation of molecular hydrogen (H2) is extensively studied to understand the mechanism of hydrogenation reactions. In this study, H2 dissociation by Au1-doped closed-shell titanium oxide cluster anions AuTi3O7- and AuTi3O8- has been identified by mass spectrometry and quantum chemistry calculations. The clusters were generated by laser ablation and massselected to react with H2 in an ion trap reactor. In the reaction of AuTi3O8- with H2, the ion pair Au+-O22- rather than Au+-O2- is the active site to promote H2 dissociation. This finding is in contrast with the previous result that the lattice oxygen is usually the reactive oxygen species in H2 dissociation. The higher reactivity of the peroxide species is further supported by frontier molecular orbital analysis. This study provides new insights into gold catalysis involving H2 activation and dissociation. 相似文献

The ab initio method based on density functional theory at the B3PW91 level has been applied to study the geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of neutral and anionic Au n Pd (n?=?1–9) clusters. The results show that the most stable geometric structures adopt a three-dimensional structure for neutral Au7Pd and Au8Pd clusters, but for anionic clusters, no three-dimensional lowest-energy structures were obtained. The relative stabilities of neutral and anionic Au n Pd clusters were analysed by means of the dependent relationships between the binding energies per atom, the dissociation energies, the second-order difference of energies, the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps and the cluster size n, and a local odd–even alternation phenomenon was found. Natural population analysis indicates the sequential transfer from the Pd atom to the Au n frame in Au1,2,3,5Pd and Au2,3Pd? clusters, and from the Au n frame to the Pd atom in other clusters. Much to our surprise, irrespective of whether it is the total magnetic moment or the local magnetic moment, the magnetic moment presents an odd–even alternation phenomenon as a function of the cluster size n. The magnetic effects are mainly localized on the various atoms (Au or Pd) for different cluster size n. 相似文献

The geometric structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of small size anionic [AunRb]? and Aun+1? (n = 1–10) clusters have been systematically investigated by using density functional theory. The optimised geometries show that the structures of [AunRb]? clusters favour the three-dimensional structure at n ≥ 8. The Rb atoms tend to occupy the most highly coordinated position and form the largest probable number of bonds with gold atoms. One Au atom capped on [Aun-1Rb]? structures is the dominant growth pattern for n = 2–8 and Rb atom capped on Aun? structures for n = 9–10. The averaged atomic bonding energies, fragmentation energies, second-order difference of energies, and highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps exhibit a pronounced even–odd alternations phenomenon. The charges in [AunRb]? clusters transfer from the Rb atoms to Aun host. In addition, it is found that the most favourable dissociation channel of the [AunRb]? clusters is to eject a Rb atom and the highest energy dissociation path is Rb? anion ejection. 相似文献

The structural and electronic properties of silver-doped gold clusters Au n Ag v (2?≤?n?≤?10; v?=?0,?±1) have been systematically investigated using density functional theory. The results show that the ground state optimal structures of the cationic and neutral clusters are found to be planar up to n?=?3 and 9, respectively. However, for the anionic clusters, no three-dimensional lowest-energy structures are obtained according to DFT calculations. The calculated binding energy and dissociation energy as a function of cluster size exhibit odd–even alternations. The natural population analysis indicates that in Au n Ag v clusters charges transfer from the Ag atom to the Au frames. The trends for the vertical detachment energies, adiabatic electron affinities, adiabatic ionization potentials, and chemical hardness of Au n Ag v clusters, as the cluster size increases, are studied in detail and compared with the available experimental data. 相似文献

Density functional calculations have been performed to investigate CO adsorption on neutral, cationic and anionic Pdn (n=1–7) clusters. From the results, it is observed that the binding of CO molecule to neutral and cationic palladium clusters
takes place via 1-, 2- and 3-fold coordination. On the other hand, only terminal adsorption of CO molecule is possible in
anionic clusters barring bridging adsorption in Pd7

Employing first-principles methods,based on the density function theory,and using the LANL2DZ basis sets,the ground-state geometric,the stable and the electronic properties of Aun-2Y2 clusters are investigated in this paper.Meanwhile,the differences in property among pure gold clusters,pure yttrium clusters,gold clusters doped with one yttrium atom,and gold clusters doped with two yttrium atoms are studied.We find that when gold clusters are doped by two yttrium atoms,the odd-even oscillatory behaviours of Aun-1Y and Aun disappear.The properties of Aun-2Y2 clusters are close to those of pure yttrium clusters. 相似文献

Controllable syntheses of different-sized gold nanoclusters are of great significance for their fundamental science and practical applications.In this work,we achieve the controllable and selective syntheses of Au7 and Au13 clusters through adding HCl to the traditional Au11 synthetic route at different reaction time.Time-dependent mass spectra and UVVis spectra were employed to monitor these two HCl-directed processes,and revealed the distinct roles of HCl as an etchant or a growth promotor,respectively.Furthermore,parallel experiments on independent synthetic routes involving only non-chlorine H+(acetic acid) or Cl-(tetraethy lammonium chloride) instead of HCl were performed,which illustrated the main role of H+-etching and Cl--assisted growth in HCl-directed cluster synthetic routes.We propose the HCl-etching is mainly achieved via the H+ action to break the Au (I)-PPh3 part of clusters,while the HCl-promoted growth is realized via the attachment of Au-Cl species to the pre-formed clusters. 相似文献

Density-functional method PW91 has been selected to investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Au4M (M =Sc–Zn) clusters. Geometry optimisations show that the M atoms in the ground-state Au4M clusters favour the most highly coordinated position. The ground-state Au4M clusters possess a solid structure for M = Sc and Ti and a planar structure for M = V–Zn. The characteristic frequency of the doped clusters is much greater than that of pure gold cluster. The relative stability and chemical activity are analysed by means of the averaged binding energy and highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap for the lowest energy Au4M clusters. It is found that the dopant atoms can enhance the thermal stability of the host cluster except for Zn atom. The Au4Ti, Au4Mn and Au4Zn clusters have relatively higher chemical stability. The vertical detachment energy, electron affinity and photoelectron spectrum are calculated and simulated theoretically for all the ground-state structures. The magnetism calculations reveal that the total magnetic moment of Au4M cluster is mainly localised on the M atom and vary from 0 to 5 μB by substituting an Au atom in Au5 cluster with different transition-metal atoms. 相似文献

An all-electron scalar relativistic calculation on
Au
n
Pt (n = 1−12) clusters has been
performed by using density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation
at PW91 level. Our results reveal that all the lowest energy geometries of
Au
n
Pt (n = 1−12) clusters may be
generated by substituting Pt atom for one gold atom of the
Au
n+1 cluster at the highest coordinated site. Compared with
corresponding pure Au
n+1 cluster, the lowest energy geometries
of Au
n
Pt clusters are distorted slightly and still keep the
planar structures due to the strong scalar relativistic effect in small gold cluster. The
Au-Pt bonds are stronger and most Au-Au bonds far from Pt atom are weaker than the
corresponding Au-Au bonds in pure Au
n+1 cluster. By
substituting Pt atom for one gold atom of Au
n+1 cluster at the
highest coordinated site, the relatively stable and inactive odd-numbered
Au
n+1 cluster becomes the relatively unstable and reactive
odd-numbered Au
n
Pt cluster, and the relatively unstable and
reactive even-numbered Au
n+1 cluster becomes the relatively
stable and inactive even-numbered Au
n
Pt cluster chemically
and electronically. All the Au
n
Pt clusters prefer low spin
multiplicity. The even-numbered Au
n
Pt clusters are found to
exhibit zero magnetic moment and the odd-numbered
Au

Pt clusters are found to possess magnetic moment with the
value of 1 μ

and electronic configurations for Au

Loss of small fragments (like AuL, Au2L3,
Au4L4) have been found systematically in several MALDI and FAB
experiments on thiolate-protected gold clusters of different sizes. When using the cluster
Au25L18
-1 as
parent cluster, the fragmented cluster
Au21L14
-1 has
been reported to be obtained in high proportion (L = SCH2CH2Ph).
Here we analyse a few possible fragmentation patterns of the well-known parent cluster
Au25L18
-1 (L =
SCH3). Using DFT calculations we study the different atomic configurations
obtained after a AuL fragment is lost from
Au25L18
-1. We
found energetically favourable configurations that can be written as
Au13 [Au2L3]6-z
[AuL2]
z
-1,
where the modification can be described as a replacement of the long protecting unit by a
short one (Au2L3 → AuL2). A full replacement
(z = 6) gives rise to a protected
Au19L12
-1
cluster. This mechanism does not modify the super-atomic electronic structure of the gold
core, i.e., all these fragments remain an 8 electron super-atom clusters exactly like the
parent Au25L18
-1. We
suggest that the Au19L12
-1 cluster
could be realized by using a bulky thiolate, such as the tert-butyl thiolate

Using the first principles calculations, the mixed Au n Zn m + (n + m ?? 6) cluster cations and their monocarbonyls Au n Zn m CO+ have been investigated at the PW91 level. For the small Au n Zn m + , most ground-state isomers are planar structures. A significant odd-even oscillation of the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps with the number of Au atoms is observed. Upon CO adsorption, the top site and C head-on adsorptions are most favorable in energy. Moreover, the optimized geometries indicate that the CO molecule prefers binding to Au atom of the Au n Zn m + clusters, which can be understood by the frontier molecular orbital theory in detail. From the theoretical calculations, the CO charge population, CO binding energy (BE) and the Gibbs free-energy change ??G generally decrease with the increase of the Zn content. It is found that the BE is highly related to the electron transfer between CO and the cluster cations. Furthermore, a linear correlation between ??G and the CO BE is found. The red shift in the CO stretching frequency is sensitive to the cluster size and composition. Our calculation suggests that CO reactive collision on Au3Zn+ and Au2Zn 2 + may lead to the dissociation of the clusters with a Zn atom loss. 相似文献

Canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulations are applied to investigate the
melting of the icosahedral 55-atom Ag-Cu-Au clusters. The clusters are
modeled by the second-moment approximation of the tight-binding (TB-SMA)
many-body potentials. Results show that the introduction of the only Cu atom
of the third alloying metal in the bimetallic Ag43Au12 cluster,
forming the Ag42Cu1Au12 cluster, can greatly increase the
melting point of the cluster by about 100 K. It is also found that the
substitution of the only Cu atom of the third alloying metal in the
Ag1Au54 clusters, forming the Ag1Cu1Au53 cluster,
can result in an increase of 40 K in the melting point. It can be concluded
that the melting points of the bimetallic clusters can be tuned by the third
metal impurities doping. In addition, the surface segregation of Ag atoms in
the Ag-Cu-Au trimetallic clusters occurs even after melting. 相似文献
