Au_(5~25)Pd团簇结构与性质的理论研究

用basin-hopping算法结合密度泛函PBE方法系统搜索了Au5~25Pd团簇的全局稳定结构,并对团簇几何结构,稳定性,Fermi能级,化学硬度和前线轨道进行了分析。计算结果表明,Au5Pd,Au7Pd和Au11Pd团簇为平面结构,其他团簇均为立体结构,与相同原子数纯金团簇结构类似。所有团簇中,Pd原子均位于配位数较高位置。团簇平均结合能随金原子数增大而逐渐增大,并有收敛到某点的趋势。偶数金原子团簇较相邻的奇数金原子团簇稳定。团簇的Fermi能级随团簇增大呈奇偶振荡,偶数金原子团簇的Fermi能级较相邻奇数金原子团簇的低,与金团簇Fermi能级变化类似。Au7Pd,Au12Pd,Au16Pd和Au18Pd团簇化学活性较高。Au5~19Pd团簇中Pd原子优先与CO,烯烃,炔烃等分子形成配位键。CO等小分子仍然吸附到Au20~25Pd团簇的顶点或面中心的金原子。

Resonance-enhanced 2PI detection of ammonia clusters via a linear reflectron TOF mass spetrometer

Ammonia clusters are resonantly two-photon ionized using a tunable pulsed UV laser (208–215 nm) and are subjected to time-of-flight (TOF) mass analysis with a linear ion reflector. The small ammonia clusters (from dimer to heptamer) exhibit broad vibronic structures, almost the same over the wavelength region studied.     

Laser photo-induced dissociation using tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry

A novel tandem time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer has been developed for studying the photo-induced dissociation of large molecules and elemental clusters. It consists of a linear first stage TOF analyser for primary mass separation and precursor ion selection, and a second orthogonal reflecting field TOF analyser for product ion analysis. The instrument is equipped with a large volume throughput molecular beam source chamber allowing the production of jet-cooled molecules and molecular clusters, as well as elemental clusters, using either a pulsed laser vaporisation source (LVS) or a pulsed are cluster ion source (PACIS). A second differentially pumped chamber can be used with effusive sources, or for infrared laser desorption of large molecules, followed by laser ionisation. These primary ions can then be irradiated with a second, high energy laser to induce photodissociation. Detailed information about the fragmentation mechanisms can be deduced from the product ion mass spectra. Preliminary results on the photo-induced dissociation (PID) of the molecule ion of aniline at 266 nm are presented. In this case the molecule ions were generated via two-photon laser ionisation at 266 nm using an effusive source. Results for the collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the aniline molecule ion, using a commercial mass spectrometer equipped with an atmospheric pressure electrospray ionisation interface, are also presented.

Partitioning of higher multipole polarizabilities: numerical evaluation of transferability

In this work, the partitioning of higher multipole polarizabilities, such as dipole-quadrupole, quadrupole-dipole, and quadrupole-quadrupole polarizabilities, into atomic contributions is studied. Partitioning of higher multipole polarizabilities is necessary in the study of accurate interaction energies where dispersion interactions are of importance. The fractional occupation Hirhsfeld-I (FOHI) method is used to calculate the atomic polarizabilities and is briefly explained together with the methodology for partitioning of the polarizabilities. The atomic multipole polarizabilities are calculated for different sets of molecules, linear alkanes, water clusters, and small organic molecules with different functional groups. It is found that the atomic and group contributions of the dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities are transferable as a function of the functional groups.     

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization of small water clusters

Tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization studies of water clusters are performed using 10-14 eV synchrotron radiation and analyzed by reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. Photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves for protonated water clusters (H2O)(n)H+ are measured with 50 meV energy resolution. The appearance energies of a series of protonated water clusters are determined from the photoionization threshold for clusters composed of up to 79 molecules. These appearance energies represent an upper limit of the adiabatic ionization energy of the corresponding parent neutral water cluster in the supersonic molecular beam. The experimental results show a sharp drop in the appearance energy for the small neutral water clusters (from 12.62 +/- 0.05 to 10.94 +/- 0.06 eV, for H2O and (H2O)4, respectively), followed by a gradual decrease for clusters up to (H2O)23 converging to a value of 10.6 eV (+/-0.2 eV). The dissociation energy to remove a water molecule from the corresponding neutral water cluster is derived through thermodynamic cycles utilizing the dissociation energies of protonated water clusters reported previously in the literature. The experimental results show a gradual decrease of the dissociation energy for removal of one water molecule for small neutral water clusters (3 相似文献   

Low-temperature cluster catalysis

Free and supported metal clusters reveal unique chemical and physical properties, which vary as a function of size as each cluster possesses a characteristic electron confinement. Several previous experimental results showed that the outcome of a given chemical reaction can be controlled by tuning the cluster size. However, none of the examples indicate that clusters prepared in the gas phase and then deposited on a support material are indeed catalytically active over several reaction cycles nor that their catalytic properties remain constant during such a catalytic process. In this work we report turn-over frequencies (TOF) for Pd(n) (n = 4, 8, 30) clusters using pulsed molecular beam experiments. The obtained results illustrate that the catalytic reactivity for the NO reduction by CO (CO + NO --> 1/2N(2) + CO(2)) is indeed a function of cluster size and that the measured TOF remain constant at a given temperature. More interestingly, the temperature of maximal reactivity is at least 100 K lower than observed for palladium nanoparticles or single crystals. One reason for this surprising observation is the character of the binding sites of these small clusters: N(2) forms already at relatively low temperatures (400 and 450 K) and therefore poisoning by adsorbed nitrogen adatoms is prevented. Thus, small clusters not only open the possibility of tuning a catalytic process by changing cluster size, but also of catalyzing chemical reactions at low temperatures.     

Fluorescence excitation spectroscopy of Xenon doped Neon clusters: size and site effects,and cluster melting

Electronic excitations of Xe atoms and Xe₂ molecules embedded in free Ne clusters are studied with time resolved fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. Several distinct absorption bands blueshifted relativ to the first atomic resonance line of Xe are observed and are attributed to Xe or Xe₂ located in different sites. For Ne clusters containing less than 300 atoms only interior sites are observed indicating that small Ne clusters are liquid-like.     

Strong-field ionization and coulomb explosion of chlorine weakly bound to small water clusters

Clusters exhibit an enhancement in ionization rates under intense, ultrafast laser pulses compared to their molecular/atomic counterparts. Studies of ionization enhancement of weakly bound molecules to clusters have not been previously characterized and quantified. We demonstrate that weakly bound ClO to (H(2)O)(n) (n = 1-12) clusters and weakly bound HCl to (H(2)O)(n) (n = 1-12) clusters produce high atomic charge states of chlorine via Coulomb explosion. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to qualitatively compare the interaction energy of ClO with respect to the number of water molecules as well as HCl with respect to the number of water molecules. The chlorine ion signal intensity for each atomic charge state was observed to be dependent on the molecule-cluster bond strength. The observed ionization enhancement was quantified using semiclassical tunneling theory, and it was found that the Cl(3+-5+) and O(2+) charge states are enhanced in ionization. Possible mechanisms of ionization enhancement are explored for weakly bound chlorine species.     

ER-BOC calculations of crystal bulk properties from smallest-cluster models

Ab initio calculation of bulk properties of crystals with a high accuracy, which is a long-time goal of solid chemistry and physics, is still difficult and expensive because a large cluster is required as a crystal structure model. This article proposes a model based on density functional theory (DFT) quantum chemistry calculations and the assumption that the bond order of a given atom with its nearest atoms in a compound is conserved over the entire range from its diatomic molecules to clusters and further to crystals. This entire range bond order conservation (ER-BOC) provides an effective way to correlate bulk properties of crystals with those of the corresponding molecules and small clusters. By combining this ER-BOC principle with hybrid DFT quantum chemistry calculations, accurate predictions of the bulk bond lengths of a crystal can be made using calculations on small clusters.     

Photoinduced charge transfer reaction at surfaces. III. (HF)2...Na n/LiF(001)+hnu(640 nm)-->HFF-Na n +/LiF(001)+H(g)

A sub-monolayer of atomic sodium was deposited on a LiF(001) surface at 40 K. The adsorbed sodium exists at the surface as single atoms and clusters. The surface was dosed with 1 L of HF, to form adsorbed (HF)2...Na(n) (n=1,2,3,...) complexes, which were then irradiated by 640 nm laser light, to induce charge-transfer reaction. The reaction-product atomic H(g) was observed leaving the surface by two-color Rydberg-atom time-of-flight (TOF) spectroscopy. The TOF spectrum of the desorbed H atoms contained two components; a "fast" component with a maximum at approximately 0.85 eV, and a "slow" component with a maximum at 0.45 eV. These two components were attributed to photoreaction on adsorbed single atoms and clusters of sodium, respectively. The fast component exhibited a structure (48+/-17 meV spacing) near the high-energy end of spectrum. This structure was attributed to vibration of NaFHF photoproduct residing on the surface. The cross section of the harpooning event in the Na...(HF)2 adsorbed complex was determined as (9.1+/-2.0)x10(-19) cm(2). To interpret the experimental vibrational structure and the relative energies of the fast and slow components of the TOF spectrum, high-level ab initio calculations were performed for reactants Na(n)...(HF)(m) (n,m=1,2) and reaction products Na(n)F(m)H(m-1). The calculated NaF-HF and Na-Na(HF)(2) bond dissociation energies indicated that photoexcitation of the precursor complexes led not only to ejection of H atoms, but also to dissociation of the Na(n)...(HF)(2) (n=1,2) species through cleavage of the NaF-HF and Na-Na(HF)(2) bonds.
