Oxide- and Zeolite-supported “Molecular” Metal Clusters: Synthesis, Structure, Bonding, and Catalytic Properties

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Topics in Organometallic Chemistry ((TOPORGAN,volume 16))

Abstract

This review is a summary of supported metal clusters with nearly molecular properties. These clusters are formed by adsorption or surface-mediated synthesis of metal carbonyl clusters, some of which may be decarbonylated with the metal frame essentially intact. The decarbonylated clusters are bonded to oxide or zeolite supports by metal--oxygen bonds, typically with distances of 2.1–2.2 Å; they are typically not free of ligands other than the support, and on oxide surfaces they are preferentially bonded at defect sites. The catalytic activities of supported metal clusters incorporating only a few atoms are distinct from those of larger particles that may approximate bulk metals.
