Analysis of Cluster Co3MoS Isomerization Conversion by WANG Zhi-yao, FANG Zhi-gang, QIN Yu, WU Ting-hui, Lv Meng-na, ZHENG Xin-xi

“…And the clusters was analyzed by applying thermodynamic and chemical kinetic methods. The results show that each isomerization reaction of cluster Co3MoS is mainly in the forward reaction direction, and TS3(2)→1(4)isomerization reaction is the easiest to be transformed, TS2(4)→1(2) reaction is the most difficult to be transformed, and the configurations 1(4), 1(2), 2(4), 2(2), 3(4), 3(2) can be steadily existed; the 3(2)→1(4) isomerization reaction is the most radically transformed, which limit is the largest than the other isomerization processes, the 2(4)→1(2) reaction consumes the most activation energy in the process of transformation, which is the least radical transformation; we find a link between equilibrium constants and thermodynamic stability of reactants and products; the isomerization reaction of the cluster Co3MoS can be predicted by the functional equation of energy difference and equilibrium constant, the integral form of the van't Hoff equation, and the Gibbs function.…”
