Structural Characterization of Unprecedented Al14O– and Al15O2–: Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Density Functional Calculations
journal contribution
posted on 2013-04-04, 00:00 authored by Tomomi Watanabe, Tatsuya TsukudaNew aluminum oxide clusters Al14O– and Al15O2– were observed
unprecedentedly in the gas-phase reaction of Aln– and O2. Photoelectron spectroscopic
measurements and density functional calculations indicated that Al14O– and Al15O2– are composed of an icosahedral Al13 moiety
bonded by one and two OAl unit(s), respectively. The preferential
formation of Al14O– and Al15O2– is explained in terms of the high
stability associated with the Al13 moiety and efficient
collisional trapping as intermediates of oxidative etching reactions.
