It was also observed, in 1973, that the fast reduction of Cu ions by solvated electrons in liquid ammonia did not yield the metal and that, instead, molecular hydrogen was evolved [11]. These results were explained by assigning to the quasi-atomic state of the nascent metal, specific thermodynamical properties distinct from those of the bulk metal, which is stable under the same conditions. This concept implied that, as soon as formed, atoms and small clusters of a metal, even a noble metal, may exhibit much stronger reducing properties than the bulk metal, and may be spontaneously corroded by the solvent with simultaneous hydrogen evolution. It also implied that for a given metal the thermodynamics depended on the particle nuclearity (number of atoms reduced per particle), and it therefore provided a rationalized interpretation of other previous data [7,9,10]. Furthermore, experiments on the photoionization of silver atoms in solution demonstrated that their ionization potential was much lower than that of the bulk metal [12]. Moreover, it was shown that the redox potential of isolated silver atoms in water must...

Temkin and co-workers have investigated the thermodynamic properties of the soluble complexes of unsaturated hydrocarbons with various metal salts with particular reference to their role in catalytic reactions. Using a potentio-metric technique, they were able to calculate the thermodynamic data shown in Table 6 for the silver(I)-acetylene complexes 30) and the silver(I)-ethylene complex 31). The results obtained for acetylene have been related to the low activity of silver salts as catalysts for the hydration of acetylene. For the sil-ver(I)-ethylene complex, the relationship between the ionic concentrations and... 

An inspection of Table II indicates that, while bulk palladium oxide is thermodynamically more stable than silver oxide, the opposite is true for the surface compound. This clearly suggests that great caution should be exercised in deducing thermodynamic properties of surfaces from bulk values.
