Probing Metal Cluster and Metal Oxide Cluster Interactions with Organo-Sulfur and Organo-Phosphorous Molecules using Mass Spectrometry and Anion PES
Abstract
Mass spectrometry anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations have been applied to several aluminum oxide cluster complexes. The reactivity of several "magic" clusters (i.e. those species that dominate the mass spectrum) toward water and methanol has been explored and for one system A1303- + 1 and 2 H20 the reaction products have been determined by comparing experimental and computational results. The Density functional theory calculations have been successfully applied to a number of transition metal complexes with the intent that they will be applied in the future to transition metal disulfide cluster systems. Preliminary results on the spectra of larger hypermetallic aluminum oxide clusters are presented.
