Experimental and Theoretical Study of N₂ Adsorption on Hydrogenated Y₂C₄H^- and Dehydrogenated Y₂C₄^- Cluster Anions at Room Temperature.

ABSTRACT: The adsorption of atmospheric dinitrogen (N₂) on transition metal sites is an important topic in chemistry, which is regarded as the prerequisite for the activation of robust N≡N bonds in biological and industrial fields. Metal hydride bonds play an important part in the adsorption of N₂, while the role of hydrogen has not been comprehensively studied. Herein, we report the N₂ adsorption on the well-defined Y₂C₄H_0,1^- cluster anions under mild conditions by using mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. The mass spectrometry results reveal that the reactivity of N₂ adsorption on Y₂C₄H^- is 50 times higher than that on Y₂C₄^-</
