Coordination of Ti cation embedded in argon clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
A laser vaporisation source and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer are used for the production and detection of TiArn Ž . clusters. Parallel, density functional theory DFT calculations assist in extracting the structures of the first members of the series. The mass spectrum is dominated by one intense line of TiAr , for which the DFT calculations predict a regular 6 octahedron. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Coordination and Siting of Cu+ Ion Adsorbed into Silicalite-2 Porous Structure: A Density Functional Theory Study
Coordination of Cu+ ions adsorbed on plausible sites of a silicalite-2 lattice has been investigated computationally via hybrid density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-311+G* and B3LYP/Def2-TZVP levels of theory using molecular models of the active site. The symmetrical coordination of Cu+ ions to almost five oxygen atoms of the all-silica framework in six-membered ring (6MR) sites of t...

The use of judiciously designed hybrid ligands to form supramolecular assemblies through coordination of two types of metal cations having incommensurate symmetry requirements has been successfully demonstrated by us as well as others.1-18 We have recently reported pentametallic mixed-metal clusters derived from 4-(diphenylphosphino)benzene-1,2-diol (H2L) which can chelate a hard cation through...
متن کاملPhotochemical processes in doped argon-neon core-shell clusters: the effect of cage size on the dissociation of molecular oxygen.
The caging effect of the host environment on photochemical reactions of molecular oxygen is investigated using monochromatic synchrotron radiation and spectrally resolved fluorescence. Oxygen doped clusters are formed by coexpansion of argon and oxygen, by pickup of molecular oxygen or by multiple pickup of argon and oxygen by neon clusters. Sequential pickup provides radially ordered core-shel...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity absorption measurement of small metal clusters embedded in an argon matrix
We describe a new UV-Vis absorption setup designed to measure with improved sensitivity the absorption spectra of size-selected small metal clusters embedded in rare gas matrices. We aim at studying the electronic structure of clusters of different materials and their interaction with the matrix. The design, construction, and performance of the setup are discussed and demonstrated on the absorp...
