T. Gal et al., CORRELATION BETWEEN THE CHEMICAL-PROPERTIES OF THE GROUP-III ELEMENTSAND THEIR PROPENSITY TO FORM VARIOUS OXIDE SPECIES (CLUSTERS), Rapid communications in mass spectrometry, 10(4), 1996, pp. 465-467
A series of experiments was carried out to investigate which of the M(
x)O(y) type (x,y = 1, 2, 3) oxide species (clusters) are formed by the
various Group III elements. A correlation has been found between the
propensity to forming the above oxides and the secondary (vertical) ch
ange in the chemical behaviour of the elements in question.
