SFB 546: Structure, Dynamics and Reactivity of Aggregates of Transition Metal Oxides

过渡金属氧化物在高温超导体、非线性光学、生物化学和催化等领域有着广泛的应用。合作研究中心“过渡金属氧化物聚集体的结构、动力学和反应性”的目的是集中研究过渡金属氧化物在不同聚集状态下的结构与其功能之间的关系。为此目的，气相和固态研究相结合：在气相双原子分子和小集群的产生，其特征在于，并研究其反应性。比较与表面上沉积的集群，以及与外延膜和单晶表面。最后，将研究“真实的”载体上的过渡金属催化剂。

Transition metal oxides find applications in many areas: high-temperature superconductors, nonlinear optics, biochemistry and catalysis. The aim of the collaborative reserarch centre "Structure, Dynamics and Reactivity of Aggregates of Transition Metal Oxides" is focused on the relation between structures of transition metal oxides in different aggregation states of and their functions. For this purpose gas-phase and solid state studies are combined: in the gas-phase diatomic molecules and small clusters are generated, characterized, and their reactivity is studied. Comparison is made with clusters deposited on surfaces as well as with epitaxical films and single crystal surfaces. Finally, "real" transition metal catalysts on supports will be studied.
