Studies of Oxide Anions
Abstract
Several metal and metal oxide anion sources were used to investigate the formation and reactivity of species of relevance to the AFGL program. A new class of reactions were identified between anions of the form HxMyOz for several metals including M=W, Ta, Ti, Mo, and HC1. The reactions have analogy to acid- base reactions. In another series of experiments, reactions of A1 and these clusters bound with V and or Nb, with O2 were investigated. It was found that the Jellium model, though by no means a compendious concept, provides a good guide to the electronic structure of clusters and their general patterns of reactivity.
