title = "Size-dependent reactivity of nickel-doped silver cluster cations toward oxygen: Electronic and geometric effects",
abstract = "Size-dependent reaction of nickel-doped silver cluster cations (AgN11Ni+: N = 514) was investigated for oxygen as the reactant molecule. A dramatic drop in the reactivity observed for N2 9 is attributed to the encapsulation of the nickel atom, i.e., screening the active site at larger sizes. The reactivity minimum observed at N = 10 is ascribed to the closed electronic shell of Ag9Ni+ formed by 18 valence electrons from Ag5s, Ni4s, and Ni3d, suggesting delocalized d electrons.",
