 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Guided ion beam studies of the reactions of Vn+ (n = 2-13) with D2: cluster-deuteride bond energies as a chemical probe of cluster electronic structure | The kinetic energy dependencies of the reactions of Vn+ (n=2 - 13) with D2 are studied in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. Products observed are VnD1 for all clusters and VnD2 + for n=4 - 13. All reactions are observed to exhibit thresholds, except for formation of VnD2 + for n =4,5,7,9,1... | Metal clusters; Vanadium ions; Bond energies; Endothermic reactions; Collision-induced dissociation; Transition metal ions; Deuterides | 2002 |
