Reactions of solid organic compounds with metal species

The results on chemical reactions of metal atoms, small clusters and nanopa rticles with different organic and inorganic substances in the temperature range 12-300 K are presented. Complexation and reactions of atoms and clust ers of magnesium, samarium and silver with alkyl halides, carbon dioxide, e thylene and some mesogenic cyanophenyls were studied by the technique of ma trix isolation and low temperatrure co-condensation of metal and ligands va pours, low temperature UV-Vis. IR- and ESR-spectroscopy in the combination with quantum chemistry calculations. In some cases the reaction products we re analysed by high performance gas chromatography. It was shown that cryoc hemical reactions of metal particles of different size reflected the system redundant energy.
