| Abstract | The reactivity of cationic aluminum clusters with oxygen is studied via a customized time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Unlike the etching effect for anionic aluminum clusters exposed to oxygen, here, the cationic Al-n(+) clusters react and produce a range of small AlnOm+ clusters. Relatively large-mass abundances are found for Al3O4+, Al4O5+, and Al5O7+ at lower O-2 reactivity, while at higher O-2 concentration, oxygen addition leads to Al2O7+, Al3O6,8-10+, and Al4O7,(+)(9), showing relatively high abundance, and Al5O7+ remains as a stable species dominating the Al5Om+ distribution. To understand these results, we have investigated the structures and stabilities of the AlnOm+ clusters. First- I principles theoretical investigations reveal the structures, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gaps, fragmentation energies, ionization energies, and Hirshfield charge of the AlnOm+ clusters (2 <= n <= 7; 0 <= m <= 10). Energetically, Al3O4+, Al4O5+, and Al5O7+ are calculated to be most stable with high fragmentation energies; however, they still allow for the chemisorption of additional O-2 with large binding energies leading to clusters with higher O/Al ratios. The stability of the species is consistent with Al possessing three valence electrons, while 0 typically accepts two, leading to the expectation that Al3O4+, Al5O7+, and Al7O10+ are reasonably stable. In addition to this, Al3O4+, Al5O3+, and Al7O5+ are found to exhibit large HOMO-LUMO gaps associated with the different oxidation states of Al. The oxygen-rich species such as Al2O7+, Al3O10+, and Al4O9+ all display superoxide structures providing further insights into the oxidation of aluminum clusters. |
