Cluster Equilibria. Relevance to the Energetics and Reactivity of Surface Bound Fragments

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 465))

Abstract

The possibility of connections between the properties of clusters on the one hand and surfaces on the other has stimulated a considerable amount of research in the area of cluster chemistry. [13] Much has concerned structure (geometric and electronic) and spectroscopic properties and the successes have been detailed elsewhere. [4, 5] Hence, it is highly appropriate that the other half of cluster chemistry, that concerned with reactivity, be examined in light of possible connections with surface reactivity. What follows is a review of studies of cluster reactivity, mainly drawn from our own work, with an emphasis on its relevance to the reactivity of molecules on surfaces.
