✦ Synopsis

Variations in the reactivity of Nan for 100 ~< n ~< 800 with molecular oxygen are reported. They can be understood in terms of the recently observed large electronic shell closing effects in sodium clusters.

Using self-consistent calculations based on density functional theory we demonstrate that clusters with reduced chemical reactivity can be designed by suitably varying their size and composition. Analogous to the rare-gas atoms, clusters with closed electronic shells are found to be less reactive to

Reactions of cooled, size-selected aluminum cluster ions (Al: , n = l-8) with oxygen have been studied at collision energies from 0.15 to 10.0 eV (center-of-mass) under single-collision conditions. With the exception of the atomic ion, all size clusters undergo exoergic reactions which result in ext
