PTC Seminar hosted by Prof. Roy L. Johnston

For 30 years isolated (gas-phase) transition metal clusters have been posited as experimentally and computationally tractable model systems for the study of active sites for heterogeneous catalysis. Only recently, however, has this idea begun to bear fruit.

This talk will describe a wide range of novel studies (including single-collision reactions, infrared-driven cluster surface chemistry and reactions induced by black-body radiation) which we have used to better understand the unique chemistry of small metal clusters as a function of both size and structure.

This talk is part of the School of Chemistry Seminars series.
