Cluster molecules
• Thermodynamically and kinetically stable• Chemical synthesis in large quantities• Characterizations with “classical” spectroscopic
techniques (IR, NMR, XRD etc)
Isolated clusters
• Most clusters are not stable towards aggregation
formation of the bulk condensed phase• Experimental investigations are usually
performed in the gas-phase (or in low temperature matrices)

Motivations for the study of free metal clusters
• Fundamental aspectHow are properties emerging when going from the atom to the bulk?
• Model systemsi) (Defect-) Sites of a bulk surfaceii) Deposited nano-particles on a substrate
• Reference systemsTest and further development of theoretical methods
Limited size = limited complexity
• Properties can be in detailed characterized experimentally• Different levels of theory can be employed

Clusters of atoms and molecules
• multiples of a simple subunit, e.g. Cn, Arn, or (H2O)n
• The cluster size n can vary and determines the properties
• Small clusters have (nearly) all atoms on the surface

Experiments on free clusters
• Clusters in different charge states can be prepared and characterized, (including neutrals)
• Characterization is often performed in molecular beams or on trapped cluster ions (gas-phase)
• Most experiments use mass spectrometric detection
• Neutrals can be detected spectroscopically or after ionization via MS
• Effect of charge, size and composition can be studied.

moderate to high (104) resolution experiments on beams of mass selected ions (MS/MS)
III Ion traps, FT-ICR (ion cyclotron resonance) very high resolution (106), long storage timessimultaneous detection of all ionsexpensive
I-II are often used as mass filters, measurement of a full mass spectrum requires scanning (of voltages) and is relatively time consuming.
Experiments are often performed on pulsed molecular beams, usage of a ToF-MS allows rapid and full mass analysis of a single ion pulse.

Comparison to Pt surfaces
• Different binding motif on extended surface• C–H bond more activated on surface than cluster

![Page 46: Surface Reactions on - Max Planck Societyw0.rz-berlin.mpg.de/imprs-cs/download/2012clusterchem.pdf · heating of a small surface part of a solid target by a focused, intense short-pulse](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0f5f647e708231d443d5be/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Physical and chemical properties of small metal clusters (<100 atoms) are often strongly size-dependent.
Clusters are suitable model systems to develop and test concepts that can be transferred to deposited particles.
Compositions of cluster complexes in the gas phase can be unambiguously determined; reacting species are therefore clearly defined.
Size and composition specific characterization (kinetics, thermochemistry, spectroscopy etc.) is possible.
