Correspondence between Electron Binding Energy and Chemisorption Reactivity of Iron Clusters

Correspondence between Electron Binding Energy and Chemisorption Reactivity of Iron Clusters. Whetten, R. L., Cox, D. M., Trevor, D. J., & Kaldor, A. Physical Review Letters, 54(14):1494, 1985.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

New experiments in a fast-flow reactor have uncovered a strong correlation between the reactivity of free iron clusters and cluster ionization thresholds: Clusters with low thresholds efficiently add molecular hydrogen, and the relative rates of this reaction closely follow variations in cluster-electron binding energy. This correspondence can be understood in terms of a requirement for metal-to-hydrogen charge transfer in the activation of the H2 bond.
