CO oxidation, although seemingly a simple chemical reaction, provides us with a panacea
that reveals the richness and beauty of heterogeneous catalysis. The Fritz Haber Institute is …

The catalytic properties of gold nanoparticles are determined by their electronic and
geometric structures. We revealed the geometries of several small neutral gold clusters in …

Atomic clusters are aggregates of atoms containing a few to several thousand atoms. Due to
the small size of these pieces of matter, the properties of atomic clusters in general are …

Die CO‐Oxidation, obwohl eine scheinbar einfache chemische Reaktion, dient als ein
Modell, welches die Vielfalt und Attraktivität der heterogenen Katalyse offenbart. Das Fritz …

Different physisorption properties by 2D and 3D isomers of Au n-clusters are observed and
used to probe the 2D to 3D structural transition. Strong Ar clustering occurs on planar Au n …

Structural information for neutral magnesium oxide clusters has been obtained by a
comparison of their experimental vibrational spectra with predictions from theory.(MgO) n …

The structures of neutral boron clusters, B 11, B 16, and B 17, have been investigated using
vibrational spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Infrared absorption spectra in the …

The geometry of cationic silicon clusters doped with vanadium, Si n V+(n= 12–16), is
investigated by using infrared multiple photon dissociation of the corresponding rare gas …

We present gas-phase infrared spectra for small silicon cluster cations possessing between
6 and 21 atoms. Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IR-MPD) of these clusters complexed …

The controversial nature of chemical bonding between noble gases and noble metals is
addressed. Experimental evidence of exceptionally strong Au Ar bonds in Ar complexes of …
