Synthesis and Structure of High‐Nuclearity Bimetallic Clusters containing Polycyanometallate Cores capped by [NiII(pyN4)] Fragments

The use of the pyN₄ coordination cap to synthesize high‐nuclearity clusters supported by polycyanometallate units was explored. The heptanuclear bimetallic complexes 2 and 3 were obtained as their salts by reacting stoichiometric amounts of pyN₄ and Ni(ac)₂ with K₃[Fe(CN)₆] and K₄[Mo(CN)₈], respectively. The tetranuclear complex 4 formed as a by‐product in the synthesis of 3 . Temperature‐dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements carried out for 2 revealed that this compound behaves as a paramagnet over the whole range of temperatures.

Vibrational excitation dynamics in photodesorption

Quantum state specific detection of photodesorbed molecules enables measuring their final state distributions in the translational and internal degrees of freedom, which contain a wealth of information about the desorption mechanism and dynamics. Vibrational state populations are of particular interest because of the information they contain about the lifetime and nature of the electronic excited states responsible for desorption. The measured vibrational distributions for nondissociative photodesorption of diatomic molecules tend to resemble Boltzmann distributions with temperatures of 600–1200 K for desorption from metal surfaces, and 1700–2000 K for semiconductors and oxides. Two-dimensional quantum dynamics calculations of the desorption process show that these vibrational distributions can be reproduced only if the intramolecular equilibrium bondlength in the electronic excited state is remarkably similar to that of the ground state. In particular, the results are inconsistent with a desorption mechanism in which the intramolecular bondlength change upon excitation is similar to that of electron capture in the gas phase.

Ni adsorbate dynamics on a NiO(0 0 1) surface

We present results concerning the dynamical behavior of a Ni³⁺ adsorbate on a NiO(0 0 1) surface obtained by molecular dynamics simulations. In a first place, we examined at low temperature the position of the Ni³⁺ ion as an adatom on the surface and the corresponding modification of its local environment as reflected on the pair-wise radial distribution function. The calculation of the vibrational properties of the adatom by means of the phonon local density of states (LDOS) shows that there is an anisotropic behavior both in the two principal in-plane directions as well as in the direction normal to the surface in accordance with the structural results. We compare the phonon LDOS of the Ni³⁺ adatom with the corresponding results for the Ni²⁺ adatom and the Ni²⁺ surface cations.Static energetic calculations are indicative that the exchange of the Ni³⁺ ion with a surface Ni²⁺ ion could be favorable. Such a behavior is confirmed by results observed at temperatures higher than 700 K where the Ni³⁺ adsorbate is located on a substitutional position on the surface and not on adatom position. The exchange takes place through simple or double exchange mechanisms. The structural and dynamical behavior of the Ni³⁺ ion at the substitution position was investigated in the temperature range 700-2000 K through the calculation of the pair distribution function, the relaxed interlayer relative position (RIRP), mean-square displacements (MSDs) and phonon LDOS. Results show that in comparison with the Ni²⁺ surface ions the Ni³⁺ ion at substitution position is more tightly bound especially in the direction normal to the surface as is indicated by the local structure and the contraction it presents as well as its phonon LDOS. As temperature increases the binding of the Ni³⁺ ion becomes less important as reflected on the physical properties mentioned above.     

Oxidation and thermal stability of nickel deposited on a thin alumina support

The activity of supported Ni catalysts can easily be affected by high temperatures and oxidative atmosphere. In order to study the origin of this behaviour, we performed systematic LEED and XPS investigations on a model system prepared by physical vapour deposition of Ni on a thin epitaxial alumina film on NiAl(1 1 0). Annealing experiments showed that deposited Ni is thermally stable up to ∼370 K. Further annealing seems to lead first to changes in the island structure and then, at temperatures above ∼480 K, to diffusion of Ni through the alumina film. Analysis of the complex oxidation behaviour revealed that there is a competition between oxidation of the Ni deposit and of the NiAl support. The latter process is probably enabled by a solid state reaction at the interface which means that Ni catalyses the further oxidation of the support. While the surface of the deposited Ni clusters is easily oxidised, the further oxidation processes of the Ni particles and the support were found to be diffusion-controlled.
