Aluminum Zintl anion moieties within sodium aluminum clusters.
Through a synergetic combination of anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory based calculations, we have established that aluminum moieties within selected sodium-aluminum clusters are Zintl anions. Sodium-aluminum cluster anions, Na(m)Al(n)(-), were generated in a pulsed arc discharge source. After mass selection, their photoelectron spectra were measured by a magnetic bo...
متن کاملThe viability of aluminum Zintl anion moieties within magnesium-aluminum clusters.
Through a synergetic combination of anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory based calculations, we have investigated the extent to which the aluminum moieties within selected magnesium-aluminum clusters are Zintl anions. Magnesium-aluminum cluster anions were generated in a pulsed arc discharge source. After mass selection, photoelectron spectra of MgmAln (-) (m, n = 1,6;...
متن کاملProbing the electronic and structural properties of the niobium trimer cluster and its mono- and dioxides: Nb3On- and Nb3On (n = 0-2).
We report a photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) study on the electronic and structural properties of Nb(3)(-), Nb(3)O(-), Nb(3)O(2)(-), and the corresponding neutrals. Well-resolved photoelectron spectra are obtained for the anion clusters at different photon energies and are compared with DFT calculations to elucidate their structures and chemical bonding. We find th...
متن کاملAluminum cluster anions: Photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio simulations
Atomic structures and geometries, electronic structure, and temperature-dependent photoelectron spectra of AlN 2 (N5192102) clusters are studied both theoretically via ab initio local-density-functional simulations, and experimentally with high-resolution measurements. The use of a theoretically well-defined energy shift in conjunction with a generalized Koopmans’ theorem enables direct compari...
متن کاملReply to "Comment on 'Electronic structures, vibrational and thermochemical properties of neutral and charged niobium clusters Nb(n), n = 7-12'".
Geometric and electronic structures, vibrational properties, and relative stabilities of niobium clusters Nb(n), n = 7-12, are studied using both DFT (BPW91 and M06 functionals) and CCSD(T) calculations with the cc-pVnZ-PP basis set. In each cluster, various lower-lying states are very close in energy in such a way that the ground state cannot be unambiguously established by DFT computations. N...
