Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Hyperhalogens, a new class of highly electronegative species, are now invented. A hyperhalogen is a superhalogen-containing composition in which the electron affinity (EA) of the hyperhalogen is even larger than that of the superhalogens they are composed of. Novel production methods are provided in which highly electronegative species are produced by surrounding a central metal atom by superhalogen moieties.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What we claim as our invention is: 1. A hyperhalogen, comprising: a metal core; superhalogens associated with said metal core, wherein the hyperhalogen has an electron affinity (EA) higher than an EA of at least one of the superhalogens included therein, wherein said superhalogens include at least one BO 2 and wherein the hyperhalogen has an EA of greater than 4.32 eV. 2. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 , wherein the superhalogens include a plurality of superhalogens which may be the same or different and each of which is associated with said metal core. 3. The hyperhalogen of claim 2 , wherein the EA of the hyperhalogen higher than the EA of each of the superhalogens. 4. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 wherein said metal core is Au-based. 5. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 wherein said metal core is Cu-based. 6. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 , wherein the hyperhalogen has an EA that is 5.54 eV. 7. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 wherein said hyperhalogen is configured as a stable ternary nanocluster. 8. A composition containing a hyperhalogen of claim 1 , wherein said composition is formulated in a product selected from the group consisting of a disinfectant, an air cleaner and a mood enhancer. 9. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 , wherein said hyperhalogen is Au(BO 2 ) 2 . 10. The hyperhalogen of claim 1 , wherein said hyperhalogen is Cu(BO 2 ) 2 .
