Abstract Investigation of the adsorption properties of 3-(adamantan-1-yl)-4-phenyl-1-[(4-phenylpiperazin-yl)methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione (APT) with metal clusters (mC: Ag, Au and Cu) are reported using DFT method. APT is found to form stable cluster with transition metal clusters of copper, silver and gold. The drug-cluster complexation energy is slightly more for the gold nanocluster-drug complex. Dipole moment of the drug-gold cluster is found to be higher than that of the other systems. SERS studies demonstrate improved Raman signals for multiple wavenumbers of all APT-metal cluster complexes. Different spectroscopic, chemical and electronic properties are also investigated.

Molecular orbital calculations at the extended Hückel level are used to rationalize the barriers to vertex rotation in the tetrahedral metal cluster complexes FeCo2(CO)9S, 2, and (C5H5)MoCo2(CO)8CH, 3. It is shown that, in accord with experimental observations on 2, rotation of an Fe(CO)3 fragment through 60° brings about a weakening of the metal–metal bonding interactions within the FeCo2 triangle. In the MoCo2 cluster, 3, rotation of the CpMo(CO)2 fragment about an axis joining the molybdenum to a central point within the tetrahedron gives rise to three minima in which the cyclopentadienyl ring is oriented proximal or distal relative to the capping carbynyl moiety, or in the plane of the three metals. The rotation trajectory of the CpMo(CO)2 vertices in Cp2Mo2(CO)4(HC≡CH), 4, has been elucidated by means of a Bürgi–Dunitz analysis of the X-ray crystal structures of a series of related clusters in which the CpMo(CO)2 units exhibit a range of orientations. The calculations suggest that the barriers to vertex rotations in 4 are primarily of steric rather than electronic origin. Key words: metal clusters, vertex rotations, EHMO calculations.

ABSTRACTOur studies of small (n=2−40) gas phase transition metal clusters (cations, neutrals and anions) have revealed a number of size-dependent chemical and physical properties. This paper will discuss results involving activated dissociative molecular chemisorption of hydrogen (deuterium) and small alkanes on cationic, neutral and anionic platinum and gold clusters. For example, we have yet to find any size gold cluster anion to exhibit measurable reactivity towards di-deuterium, but reactivity is observed on small (n<15) gold cations and very small (n<9) neutral gold clusters. Methane or ethane chemisorption occurs most readily only on small Pt and Au cluster cations and least rapidly, if at all, on cluster anions. The larger Pt and Au clusters are found to be non-reactive towards the alkanes under our experimental conditions.At the other extreme, at steady state, small clusters of Pt, Rh, Ni, Pd, V, Nb, and Ta are hydrogen “rich” exhibiting H/M stoichiometrics >> 1. These results are consistent with a limited data base on supported clsutes obtained via EXAFS measurements and have important implications for catalytic reactions involving hydrogen and light hydrocarbons.

Biomass-based renewable hydrocarbon fuel is a complex mix that contains many oxygenating substances, in particular phenolics, which leads to adverse consequences such as reduced engine energy performance and increased toxic gas emissions.
