The deposition of osmium carbonyl clusters onto inorganic oxide surfaces: A ToF-SIMS and IR spectroscopic study of the surface species
The interaction between the osmium clusters [Os-3(CO)(12)], [Os-3(CO)(10)(mu-H)(2)], [Os-3(CO)10(mu-H)(mu-OH)], and a series containing a free functional group, viz., [Os-3(CO)(10)(mu-H)(mu-S boolean AND EH)] (where boolean AND = alkyl chain or an aromatic ring, E = COO, S or O), with SiO2, ZnO and In2O3, was examined by ToF-SIMS and IR spectroscopy. While the interaction with the silica surface is mostly via an O atom or the functional group, the interaction with the ZnO and In2O3 surfaces is More complex. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
