Reactions of platinum cluster ions with benzene

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 12 2006
Hongtao Liu
In this work, the cation and anion products of the reactions between platinum clusters produced by laser ablation and the benzene molecules seeded in argon have been studied using a high-resolution reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOFMS). The dominant cation products are [C6nH6n,,,k]+ and [Ptm(C6H6)n]+ complexes, while the dominant anion products are dehydrogenated species, [C6H5PtH],, [PtC12Hk], and [PtmC6H4,·,·,·,(C6H6)n],, etc. Some important intermediate structures ([PtC6H6]+, [Pt(C6H6)2]+, [Pt2(C6H6)3]+, [C6H5PtH],, [Pt2C6H4],, [Pt3C6H4], and [Pt4C6H4],) have been analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Different reaction mechanisms are proposed for platinum cluster cations and anions with benzene, respectively. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Characterization of aluminum,organic-stabilized platinum,colloid networks with electron and photon spectroscopies

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 5 2003
L. Beuermann
Abstract We have measured and interpreted the ultraviolet (HeI) and X-ray photoelectron spectra and the metastable impact electron spectra (MIES) from aluminum,organic-stabilized platinum,colloids and colloid networks, deposited on silicon substrates and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning Auger electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. MIES, in particular, gives information on the electronic structure of the spacer molecules interconnecting the colloids. In addition, changes in the electronic structure of the platinum clusters that are induced by different spacer molecules were identified by means of X-ray absorption near-edge structure measurements at the platinum LIII -edge of these materials. This combination of techniques was also employed to follow the chemical changes that occur upon heating of the network in situ. It turns out that the thermal decomposition of the network is driven by the disintegration of the spacer molecules. Moreover, less sintering of the colloidal particles occurs in the networked systems than in unconnected particles. Most of the networked platinum,particles are still present in their original shape even after the destruction of spacer molecules. This observation could be linked to the encapsulation of these platinum particles into an (AlO) protecting shell. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
