A systematic study of the structure and bonding of halogens on low-index transition metal surfaces
Article Abstract:
The structure and bonding of halogens on various metal low-index surfaces was studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations using periodic slabs to model the surface. It was seen that periodic trends in bond ionicities and metal -halogen vibrational frequencies are in harmony with data derived in electrochemical environment, indicating that the metal-halogen bonding in vacuum share some features with the electrode metal surface-halogen bonding.

Density-dependent equations of state for metal, nonmetal, and transition states for compressed mercury fluid
Article Abstract:
A presentation of the analytical equations of state for fluid mercury in metal, nonmetal, and in-metal-nonmetal transition states. In addition, investigations of monovalent liquid cesium and rubidium indicate a gradual metal-nonmetal transition near the critical region, a gradual metal-non-metal transition near the critical region, but the properties of this transition for a divalent metal are completely different.

Photochemical reduction of transition metal substituted heteropoly anions in nonpolar solutions
Article Abstract:
The well-known photoreduction of polyoxometalates by alcohols are exploited to produce the reduced species, which cannot be directly produced electrochemically in nonaqueous solvents. Photochemistry is a reliable means to produce stable reduced transition metal substituted heteropoly tungstates in nonpolar media, where they hold promise as multielectron reduction catalysts.
