Application of the Reactivity Index to Propose Intra and Intermolecular Reactivity in Metal Cluster Interaction over Oxide Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hard soft acid-base (HSAB) principles classify the interaction between acids and bases in terms of global softness. In last few years the reactivity index methodology is well established and had found its application in a wide variety of systems. This study aims to propose the viability of the reactivity index to monitor metal cluster interaction with oxide surface with a description of the theory developed. We have chosen pure gold cluster from a size between 2 to 12 to be interacted with clean alumina (100) surface. The study aims to postulate a simple a priori scale in terms of intra and inter molecular interaction of gold cluster with alumina surface to rationalize the role of reactivity index in material designing.

Oxidation of Ethylene to Ethylene Oxide by Selenium Modified Silver Catalyst
Oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide over silver catalyst and selenium modified catalyst has been studied by continuous flow and pulse techniques over the temperature range of 230-280 °C. The results are discussed in terms of reaction mechanisms proposed by others, rejecting mechanisms which involve peroxide formation. It has been shown that not only selectivity towards ethylene oxide pr...
متن کاملWhy do Bimetallic Clusters have more Chemical Reactivity? Study the VnNim (2 ≤ n + m ≤ 6) Clusters as the Nano Species
This article gives you proof that bimetallic transition metal clusters with the difference in electronegativity are better catalysts than monoatomic one. To prove this fact, a study of ethylene adsorption on bimetallic clusters vanadium-nickel VnNim (2≤n+m≤6) has been demonstrated. Our result shows that hardness has a quite good linear correlation with the non-Lewis of VnNi (n=1-5) cluster (R2=...

Metal powders are combined due to high heat reaction with oxygen, improve the density of the propellant, decrease the pressure exponent (n) and Higher combustion heat, and as a result of higher ISP in propellant. Aluminum, magnesium and boron have found a wide application in propellant formulations. Boron, due to high oxidation heat and low atomic weight, is one of the best elements known. Unfo...
متن کاملAn insight into effect of surface functional groups on reactivity of Sphalerite (110) surface with Xanthate collector: a DFT study
The reactivity of the protonated and hydroxylated sphalerite (1 1 0) surface with xanthate was simulated using the density functional theory (DFT). The difference between the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the sphalerite surface and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of xanthate ( was used to compare the reaction capability of xanthate with fresh and fun...
