Abstract
Thin planar model alumina films can be successfully used as supports for metal species in the size range⩽ 1 nm, provided the electron optical conditions (defocus setting) are optimized. Os3(CO)12-clusters were anchored on the model support intact and the triatomic clusters (∼ 0.6 nm diameter) could be made visible. Metal aggregation in H2-atmospheres and redispersion in CO and O2 atmospheres has been studied. It is suggested that CO-induced fragmentation of small osmium particles exposing low-coordinated surface atoms probably leads to mononuclear surface carbonyl complexes.
