Abstract
The properties of sub-nano metal clusters are governed by quantum confinement and their large surface-to-bulk ratios, atomically precise compositions and geometric/electronic structures. Advances in metal clusters lead to new opportunities in diverse aspects of sciences including chemo-sensing, bio-imaging, photochemistry, and catalysis. Naked metal clusters having synergic multiple active sites and coordinative unsaturation and tunable stability/activity enable researchers to design atomically precise metal catalysts with tailored catalysis for different reactions. Here we summarize the progress of ligand-free naked metal clusters for catalytic applications. It is anticipated that this review helps to better understand the chemistry of small metal clusters and facilitates the design and development of new catalysts for potential applications.

Abstract
Transition metals are important in various industrial applications including catalysis. Due to the current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, various ways for its capture and utilization are investigated. Here, we study the activation of CO2 and H2O at [NbO3]- in the gas phase using a combination of infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. In the experiments, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry is combined with tunable IR laser light provided by the intracavity free-electron laser FELICE or optical parametric oscillator-based table-top laser systems. We present spectra of [NbO3]-, [NbO2(OH)2]-, [NbO2(OH)2]-(H2O) and [NbO(OH)2(CO3)]- in the 240-4000 cm-1 range. The measured spectra and observed dissociation channels together with quantum chemical calculations confirm that upon interaction with a water molecule, [NbO3]- is transformed to [NbO2(OH)2]- via a barrierless reaction. Reaction of this product with CO2 leads to [NbO(OH)2(CO3)]- with the formation of a [CO3] moiety.

Abstract
The activation and functionalization of dinitrogen with carbon dioxide into useful chemicals containing C-N bonds are significant research projects but highly challenging. Herein, we report that N2 molecules are dissociated by heterobimetallic CuNb- anions assisted by surface plasma radiation, leading to the formation of CuNbN2- anions; the CuNbN2- anions can further react with CO2 to generate products NCO- with one C-N bond and NbO2NCN- with two C-N bonds under thermal collision conditions. For the activation of dinitrogen, the plasma atmosphere is conducive to the dissociation of the NN bond, which renders the coupling reactions of N2 and CO2 molecules easier to proceed. This is the first report of coupling of N2 and CO2 to generate C-N bonds by making good use of the plasma effect to assist in the activation of N2 molecules. This new strategy with the assistance of plasma provides a practicable route to construct C-N bonds by directly using N2 and CO2 at room temperature.

Abstract
With global push of hydrogen economy, efficient scenarios for hydrogen storage, transportation, and generation are indispensable. Here we devise a strategy for controllable hydrogen fuel storage and retrieval via light-switched CO2-to-HCOOH interconversion. To realize it, palladium sulfide nanocluster catalysts with multiple specific functionalities are directly searched by our home-developed inverse design approach based on genetic algorithm (IDOGA) and ab initio calculations. Over 500 low-energy PdxSy (x + y ≤ 30) clusters are sieved through a multiobjective function combining stability, activity, optical absorption, and reduction capability of photocarriers. The structure-property relationships and key factors governing the trade-off among these stringent criteria are disclosed. Finally, 14 candidate PdxSy clusters with proper sulfidation degree and high stability in an aqueous environment have been screened. Our IDOGA program provides a general approach for inverse search of nanoclusters with any designated elemental compositions and functionalities for any device applications.

Abstract
The activation and transformation of H2O and CO2 mediated by electrons and single Pt atoms is demonstrated at the molecular level. The reaction mechanism is revealed by the synergy of mass spectrometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. Specifically, a Pt atom captures an electron and activates H2O to form a H-Pt-OH- complex. This complex reacts with CO2via two different pathways to form formate, where CO2 is hydrogenated, or to form bicarbonate, where CO2 is carbonated. The overall formula of this reaction is identical to a typical electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction on a Pt electrode. Since the reactants are electrons and isolated, single atoms and molecules, we term this reaction a molecular-level electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction. Mechanistic analysis reveals that the negative charge distribution on the Pt-H and the -OH moieties in H-Pt-OH- is critical for the hydrogenation and carbonation of CO2. The realization of the molecular-level CO2 reduction reaction provides insights into the design of novel catalysts for the electrochemical conversion of CO2.

Abstract
By synergizing the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, single-site heterogeneous catalysis represents a highly promising opportunity for many catalytic processes. Particularly, the unprecedented designability and versatility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promote them as salient platforms for designing single-site catalytic materials by introducing isolated, well-defined active sites into the frameworks. Herein, we design new MOF-supported single-site catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol (CH3OH), a reaction of great significance in CO2 valorization. Specifically, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), a class of excellent modifiers and anchors, is used to anchor coinage metal hydrides M(I)-H (M = Cu, Ag, and Au) onto the organic linker of UiO-68. The strong metal-ligand interactions between NHC and M(I)-H verify the robustness and feasibility of our design strategy. On the tailor-made catalysts, a three-stage sequential transformation is proposed for CH3OH synthesis with HCOOH and HCHO as the transit intermediates. A density functional theory-based comparative study suggests that UiO-68 decorated with NHC-Cu(I)-H performs best for CO2 hydrogenation to HCOOH. This is further rationalized by three linear relationships for the Gibbs energy barrier of CO2 hydrogenation to HCOO intermediate, the first with the NBO charge of the hydride in NHC-M(I)-H, the second with the electronegativity of M, and the third with the gap between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of CO2 and the highest occupied molecular orbital of the catalyst. It is confirmed that the high efficiency of MOF-supported NHC-Cu(I)-H for CO2 transformation to CH3OH is via the proposed three-stage mechanism, and in each stage, the step involving heterolytic dissociation of H2 together with product generation is the most energy-intensive. The rate-limiting step in the entire mechanism is identified to be H2 dissociation accompanying with simultaneous HCHO and H2O formation. Altogether, the tailor-made UiO-68 decorated with NHC-Cu(I)-H features well-defined active sites, enables precise manipulation of reaction paths, and demonstrates excellent reactivity for CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH. It is also predicted to surpass a recently reported MOF-808 catalyst consisting of neighboring Zn2+-O-Zr4+ sites. The designed MOFs as well as the proposed strategy here establish a new paradigm and can be extended to other hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
Reactions of MH2 (M = Sr, Ba) with CO2 were explored in pure parahydrogen at 3.5 K using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The formate complex HM(η2-O2CH) and formic acid complex (MH2)(HCOOH) were trapped and identified by isotopic substitutions and density functional theory (DFT) frequency calculations. Natural population analysis and the CO2 reduction mechanism demonstrate that hydride ion transfer from a metal hydride to a CO2 moiety facilitates the stabilization of such complexes.

Abstract
Catalytic co‐conversion of methane with carbon dioxide to produce syngas (2 H2+2 CO) involves complicated elementary steps and almost all the elementary reactions are performed at the same high temperature conditions in practical thermocatalysis. Here, we demonstrate by mass spectrometric experiments that RhTiO2− promotes the co‐conversion of CH4 and CO2 to free 2 H2+CO and an adsorbed CO (COads) at room temperature; the only elementary step that requires the input of external energy is desorption of COads from the RhTiO2CO− to reform RhTiO2−. This study not only identifies a promising active species for dry (CO2) reforming of methane to syngas, but also emphasizes the importance of temperature control over elementary steps in practical catalysis, which may significantly alleviate the carbon deposition originating from the pyrolysis of methane.

Abstract
Laser ablation generated CoCDn- (n = 0-4) anions were mass selected and then reacted with CO2 in an ion trap reactor. The reactions were characterized by mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. The experimental results demonstrated that the CoC- anion can convert CO2 into CO. In contrast, the bare Co- anion is inert toward CO2. Coordinated D ligands can modify the reactivity of CoCD1-4- in which CoCD1-3- can reduce CO2 into CO selectively and CoCD4- can only adsorb CO2. The crucial roles of the coordinated C and D ligands to tune the reactivity of CoCDn- (n = 0-4) toward CO2 were rationalized by theoretical calculations. Note that the hydrogenation process that is usually observed in the reactions of gas-phase metal hydrides with CO2 is completely suppressed for the reactions CoCDn- + CO2. This study provides insights into the molecular-level origin for the observations that CO can be selectively generated from CO2 catalyzed by cobalt-containing carbides in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
In light of the current energy requirements, the conversion of CO2 and N2 into useful C-N bond-containing products under mild conditions has become an area of intense research. However, the inert nature of N2 and CO2 renders their coupling extremely challenging. Herein, nitrogen and carbon atoms originating from N2 and CO2, respectively, are fixed sequentially by NbH2- anions in the gas phase at room temperature. Isocyanate and NbO2CN- anions were formed under thermal collision conditions, thus achieving the formation of new C-N bonds directly from simple N2 and CO2. The anion structures and reaction details were studied by mass spectrometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. A novel N2 activation mode (metal-ligand activation, MLA) and a related mechanism for constructing C-N bonds mediated by a single non-noble metal atom are proposed. In this MLA mode, the C atom originating from CO2 serves as an electron reservoir to accept and donate electrons.

Abstract
Mass spectrometric analysis of the anionic products of interaction between palladium hydride anions, PdH-, and carbon dioxide, CO2, in a reaction cell shows an efficient generation of the PdHCO2- intermediate and isolated formate product. Multiple isomers of the PdHCO2- intermediates are identified by a synergy between negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations. It is shown that a direct mechanism, in which the H atom in PdH- directly activates and hydrogenates CO2, leads to the formation of the formate product. An indirect mechanism, on the other hand, leads to a stable HPdCO2- structure, where CO2 is chemisorbed onto the Pd atom.

Abstract
The activation and hydrogenation of nitrogen are central in industry and in nature. Through a combination of mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations, this work reports an interesting result that scandium nitride cations Sc3N+ can activate sequentially H2 and N2, and an amido unit (NH2) is formed based on density functional theory calculations, which is one of the inevitable intermediates in the N2 reduction reactions. If the activation step is reversed, i.e., sequential activation of first N2 and then H2, the reactivity decreases dramatically. An association mechanism, prevalent in some homogeneous catalysis and enzymatic mechanisms, is adopted in these gas-phase H2 and N2 activation reactions mediated by Sc3N+ cations. The mechanistic insights are important to understand the mechanism of the conversion of H2 and N2 to NH3 synthesis under ambient conditions.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of CO2 into value-added complexes is of great importance for both environmental and economic issues. Metal hydrides are good models for the active sites to explore the nature of CO2 hydrogenation; however, the fundamental insights into C-H bond formation are still far from clear because of the complexity of real-life catalysts. Herein, gas-phase reactions of the Fe2Hn- (n = 0-3) anions with CO2 were investigated using mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. The experimental results showed that the reduction of CO2 into CO dominates all of these reactions, whereas Fe2H- and Fe2H2- can induce the hydrogenation of CO2 effectively to give rise to products Fe(HCO2)- and HFe(HCO2)-, respectively. The mechanistic aspects and the reactivity of Fe2Hn- with an increased number of H atoms in CO2 hydrogenation were rationalized by theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Dinitrogen activation is known as one of the most challenging subjects in chemistry. A number of well-defined metal complexes, nitrides, and clusters have been studied that show catalysis for dinitrogen activation. However, direct evidence of a complete cleavage of the N≡N triple bond at mild conditions is rather limited to date. Herein, we report a study on the dissociation of N2 on small rhodium clusters assisted by surface plasma radiation. From mass spectrometry observation, a few rhodium nitride clusters with an odd number of nitrogen atoms are produced, such as the Rh3N2m-1+ (m = 1-5) series, indicative of N≡N bond dissociation in the mild plasma atmosphere. Interestingly, Rh3N7+ is identified with outstanding mass abundance among the RhnN2m-1+ products, and its ground-state structure is in the form of Rh3N(N2)3+ by capping a nitrogen atom on the top of Rh3+ plane and hanging three N2 molecules beneath the three Rh atoms respectively, giving rise to a C3v symmetry and excellent stability. We demonstrate the catalysis of such a three-atom rhodium cluster and reveal a dinitrogen activation strategy by thermodynamics- and dynamics- favorable chain reactions of multiple N2 molecules with two rhodium clusters under plasma atmosphere.

Abstract
Mass spectrometric analysis of the anionic products of interaction between bimetallic palladium-copper tetrahydride anions, PdCuH4-, and carbon dioxide, CO2, in a reaction cell shows an efficient generation of the PdCuCO2H4- intermediate and formate/formic acid complexes. Multiple structures of PdCuH4- and PdCuCO2H4- are identified by a synergy between anion photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The higher energy PdCuH4- isomer is shown to drive the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2, emphasizing the importance of accounting for higher energy isomers for cluster catalytic activity. This study represents the first example of CO2 hydrogenation by bimetallic hydride clusters.

Abstract
We present a combined anion photoelectron spectroscopic and quantum chemical investigation on the structures and bonding properties of CPt2 -/0 and CPt2H-/0. The experimental vertical detachment energies of CPt2 - and CPt2H- are measured to be 1.91 ± 0.08 and 3.54 ± 0.08 eV, respectively. CPt2 - is identified as a C2v symmetric Pt-C-Pt bent structure, and CPt2 has a D∞h symmetric Pt-C-Pt linear structure. Both anionic and neutral CPt2H adopt a Pt-C-Pt-H chain-shaped structure, in which the ∠PtCPt and ∠CPtH bond angles of CPt2H- are larger than those of CPt2H. The Pt-C bonds in CPt2 -/0 and CPt2H-/0 exhibit covalent double bonding characters. The Pt=C bonds are much stronger than the C-H bond that may explain why the C atom CPt2H-/0 prefers to form Pt=C bonds rather than C-H bonds. It may also explain why platinum can insert into the C-H bond to activate the C-H bond as reported in the literature.

Abstract
Direct conversion of methane with carbon dioxide to value-added chemicals is attractive but extremely challenging because of the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of both molecules. Herein, the first dinuclear cluster species, RhVO3 - , has been designed to mediate the co-conversion of CH4 and CO2 to oxygenated products, CH3 OH and CH2 O, in the temperature range of 393-600 K. The resulting cluster ions RhVO3 CO- after CH3 OH formation can further desorb the [CO] unit to regenerate the RhVO3 - cluster, leading to the successful establishment of a catalytic cycle for methanol production from CH4 and CO2 (CH4 +CO2 →CH3 OH+CO). The exceptional activity of Rh-V dinuclear oxide cluster (RhVO3 - ) identified herein provides a new mechanism for co-conversion of two very stable molecules CH4 and CO2 .

Abstract
Dinitrogen (N2) activation by metal hydride species is of fundamental interest and practical importance while the role of hydrogen in N2 activation is not well studied. Herein, the structures of Co3Dn- (n = 0-4) clusters and their reactions with N2 have been studied by using a combined experimental and computational approach. The mass spectrometry experiments identified that the Co3Dn- (n = 2-4) clusters could adsorb N2 while the Co3Dn- (n = 0 and 1) clusters were inert. The photoelectron imaging spectroscopy indicated that the electron detachment energies of Co3D2-4- are smaller than those of Co3D0,1-, which characterized that it is easier to transfer electrons from Co3D2-4- than from Co3D0,1- to activate N2. The density functional theory calculations generally supported the experimental observations. Further analysis revealed that the H atoms in the Co3Hn- (n = 2-4) clusters generally result in higher energies of the Co 3d orbitals in comparison with the Co3Hn- (n = 0 and 1) systems. By forming chemical bonds with H atoms, the Co atoms of Co3H2-4- are less negatively charged with respect to the naked Co3- system, which leads to higher N2 binding energies of Co3H2-4N2- than that of Co3N2-.

Abstract
Although the mechanism for the transformation of carbon dioxide to formate with copper hydride is well understood, it is not clear how formic acid is ultimately released. Herein, we show how formic acid is formed in the decomposition of the copper formate clusters Cu(II)(HCOO)3- and Cu(II)2 (HCOO)5- . Infrared irradiation resonant with the antisymmetric C-O stretching mode activates the cluster, resulting in the release of formic acid and carbon dioxide. For the binary cluster, electronic structure calculations indicate that CO2 is eliminated first, through hydride transfer from formate to copper. Formic acid is released via proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) to a second formate ligand, evidenced by close to zero partial charge and spin density at the hydrogen atom in the transition state. Concomitantly, the two copper centers are reduced from Cu(II) to Cu(I). Depending on the detailed situation, either PCET or hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) takes place.

Abstract
Electrochemical activation of carbon dioxide in aqueous solution is a promising way to use carbon dioxide as a C1 building block. Mechanistic studies in the gas phase play an important role to understand the inherent chemical reactivity of the carbon dioxide radical anion. Here, the reactivity of CO2 •-(H2O)n with 3-butyn-1-ol is investigated by Fourier transform ion cyclotron (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. Carbon-carbon bond formation takes places, but is associated with a barrier. Therefore, bond formation may require uptake of several butynol molecules. The water molecules slowly evaporate from the cluster due to the absorption of room temperature black-body radiation. When all water molecules are lost, butynol evaporation sets in. In this late stage of the reaction, side reactions occur including H• atom transfer and elimination of HOCO•.

Abstract
The use of CH4 and CO2 to produce value-added chemicals via direct C-C coupling is a challenging chemistry problem because of the inertness of these two molecules. Herein, mass spectrometric experiments and high-level quantum-chemical calculations have identified the first diatomic species (CuB+ ) that can couple CH4 with CO2 under thermal collision conditions to produce ketene (H2 C=C=O), an important intermediate in synthetic chemistry. The order to feed the reactants (CH4 and CO2 ) is important and CH4 should be firstly fed to produce the C2 product. Molecular-level mechanisms including control of product selectivity have been revealed for coupling of CH4 with CO2 under mild conditions.
