The reactivity of gas-phase cluster anions Ta3N2− with C2H4 under thermal collision conditions was studied by mass spectrometry in conjunction with density functional theory calculations. The full dehydrogenation of the C2H4 molecule was observed, with the formation of two dihydrogen molecules. Interestingly, the two carbon atoms originating from the first C2H4 molecule are used to construct another cluster Ta3N2C2−, which can activate one more C2H4 releasing one H2 molecule. Therefore, three dihydrogen molecules are liberated from two ethene molecules in the overall reaction. The full dehydrogenation of C2H4 by gas-phase anions as well as the structure and reactivity of M–N–C (M: transition metal) cluster is reported for the first time. The properties of Ta3N2− and Ta3N2C2− elucidated herein are of use in providing fundamental information that is necessary to tailor the design of new and effective catalysts by applying the related materials.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
