This grant in the Inorganic Chemistry Program will support continued            work on the synthesis of heterobimetallic compounds which consist of a          main group heteroatom, e.g., sulfur, and one or more metals selected            from the sets, (molybdenum or tungsten) and (iron, cobalt, or nickel)           tightly bonded together in a cluster.  The chemical reactions of the            clusters with molecules of interst in catalysis, e.g., CO, hydrogen,            alkynes, thiophene, etc., will be determined, as will the reactions of          the clusters with the surface metal oxide supports.  It has been found          that these new clusters show interesting selectivities in the catalysis         of CO hydrogenation and hydrodesulfurization when supported on the              surface of metal oxides.  It is proposed to determine the nature of the         ensembles present on the oxide surfaces and elucidate their mode of             catalytic action.                                                                                                                                               The compounds which will be synthesized and studied show promose as             selective and efficient catalysts for a variety of important chemical           processes, such as the reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen.  Some         of these compounds decompose upon heating to form highly reactive small         clusters of metal atoms which may also be useful as catalysts.
