使用配有团簇产生和化学反应源的飞行时间质谱装置,研究了锆氧阴离子团簇ZrxOy-与乙烷和丁烷的反应. 在反应中发现了Zr2O5H-和Zr3O7H-产物. 用密度泛函理论研究了乙烷在Zr2O5-上的反应通道,发现乙烷脱氢反应可以发生,从而证明观察到的产物是源于脱氢反应. 该工作揭示了锆氧负离子团簇与烷烃反应中的新通道.
The reactions of anionic zirconium oxide clusters ZrxOy- with C2H6 and C4H10 are investi-gated by a time of flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser vaporization cluster source.Hydrogen containing products Zr2O5H- and Zr3O7H- are observed after the reaction. Den-sity functional theory calculations indicate that the hydrogen abstraction is favorable in the reaction of Zr2O5- with C2H6, which supports that the observed Zr2O5H- and Zr3O7H- are due to hydrogen atom abstraction from the alkane molecules. This work shows a newpossible pathway in the reaction of zirconium oxide cluster anions with alkane molecules.
