ChemInform Abstract
152 binary anionic [CoxPy]- clusters, ranging up to [Co25P16]-, are generated by laser ablation of CoP. The reactivities, reactions with H2S, NO2, or N2O, and collisional dissociation of selected ions are investigated by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. As revealed by DFT calculations the structural principles evident so far are that P atoms, P2, and P3 groups bridge the faces and, to a lesser extent, the edges of Cox polyhedra. The results are discussed with respect to possible applications for the syntheses of new compounds and materials.
