Transition metal oxides find applications in many areas: high-temperature superconductors, nonlinear optics, biochemistry and catalysis. The aim of the collaborative reserarch centre "Structure, Dynamics and Reactivity of Aggregates of Transition Metal Oxides" is focused on the relation between structures of transition metal oxides in different aggregation states of and their functions. For this purpose gas-phase and solid state studies are combined: in the gas-phase diatomic molecules and small clusters are generated, characterized, and their reactivity is studied. Comparison is made with clusters deposited on surfaces as well as with epitaxical films and single crystal surfaces. Finally, "real" transition metal catalysts on supports will be studied.
