Abstract: | The kinetics of chemical reactions of cobalt clusters Con with deuterium are described. Absolute rate constants have been measured in the size range n=7–68 at 293 K. The rate constants are found to be a strong function of cluster size, varying by a factor of 400. This size dependence is most prominent for n=7 to 25: Co15 is the most reactive cluster, and Co7–9 and Co19–20 are particularly unreactive. Abrupt changes in the rate constants from one cluster size to the next are observed. For the clusters above n=25, the rate constants show several less prominent maxima and minima superimposed on a slow, nearly monotonic increase with cluster size. |
