Hydrogenation reactions of neutral carbon clusters: Cn (n=6–75)+D2 by Thomas J. Butenhoff; Eric A. Rohlfing is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Hydrogenation reactions of neutral carbon clusters: Cn (n=6–75)+D2 about?
The hydrogenation reactions of neutral carbon clusters, C. + D~, are examined over a wide range of cluster sizes, n = 6 -75. Clusters are created by pulsed laser vaporization of graphite and react with De in a pulsed, i:ast-flow reactor..After supersonic expansion and collimation the cluster reactants and products are photoionized at 118.2 nm and mass analyzed via high-resolution time-of-flight ma.ss spectrometry. The observed ion signals provide inibrmation both on the decay of the C. reactants and on the fbrmation of the C.Dm products. From the product appearance kinetics, we conclude that C.D., are formed via sequential Datom addition and that, in some eases, loss of carbon may accompany hydrogenation. The C~. fbr n < 20 show a preterenee for formation o{: C~Dz, c~nsistent with production of longchain polyacetylenes. From fits to the deeay of C. signals, we determine the relative rate for the overall reaction as a tunction of cluster size. The observed drop in reactivity" for Ca. near n = 18 correlates well with the onset of the closed-shell fidlerenes.
