Reactivity of metal clusters

Z Luo, AW Castleman Jr, SN Khanna - Chemical reviews, 2016 - ACS Publications
We summarize here the research advances on the reactivity of metal clusters. After a simple
introduction of apparatuses used for gas-phase cluster reactions, we focus on the reactivity …

Binding of hydrogen molecules by a transition-metal ion

J Niu, BK Rao, P Jena - Physical review letters, 1992 - APS
Using self-consistent field molecular-orbital theory, we show that the interaction of hydrogen
molecules with a Ni+ ion is characteristically different from that with a neutral Ni atom. While …

Clusters: A bridge across the disciplines of physics and chemistry

P Jena, AW Castleman Jr - Proceedings of the National …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
The properties of elements from atoms to bulk can be divided into two regimes:(i) a scalable
regime where properties vary smoothly as some power law until they reach the bulk limit and …
