Stabilization of Si-based cage clusters and nanotubes by encapsulation of transition metal atoms
The encapsulation of metal atoms within Si-based cage clusters leads to stable metal-encapsulated Si cage clusters (Si-cc). The present work investigates the effect of encapsulation of transition metal atoms (TMAs). We show that the filling factor of the d-band of the TMA is the dominant factor determining the structural configuration of the Si-cc. This results in a contrasting bonding and magn...
متن کاملFormation of metal-encapsulating Si cage clusters.
We report the formation of a series of metal-containing hydrogenated silicon clusters using an ion trap. Mass analyses reveal that many types of transition metal ions M(+) ( M = Hf, Ta, W, Re, Ir, etc.) react with silane (SiH4) to form dehydrogenated MSi( +)(n) cluster ions ( n = 14, 13, 12, 11, 9, respectively) as an end product, indicating that the metal atom is endohedral and stabilizes the ...
متن کاملStabilization of fullerene-like boron cages by transition metal encapsulation.
The stabilization of fullerene-like boron (B) cages in the free-standing form has been long sought after and a challenging problem. Studies that have been carried out for more than a decade have confirmed that the planar or quasi-planar polymorphs are energetically favored ground states over a wide range of small and medium-sized B clusters. Recently, the breakthroughs represented by Nat. Chem....
متن کاملEncapsulation of transition metal atoms into carbon nanotubes: a supramolecular approach.
A functionalised fullerene incorporating a double-chelating group binds transition metal cations and acts as an effective vehicle for delivering metals into carbon nanotubes.
متن کاملStabilization of golden cages by encapsulation of a single transition metal atom
Golden cage-doped nanoclusters have attracted great attention in the past decade due to their remarkable electronic, optical and catalytic properties. However, the structures of large golden cage doped with Mo and Tc are still not well known because of the challenges in global structural searches. Here, we report anionic and neutral golden cage doped with a transition metal atom MAu16 (M = Mo a...
