Anion photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations has been used to study mono- and dinuclear copper-carbonyl clusters Cun(CO)m- (n = 1, 2; m = 2-5). The adiabatic detachment energies of the anions have been measured which correspond to the electron affinities of the respective neutral species. The corresponding values are 0.95 eV for Cu(CO)2, 1.02 eV for Cu(CO)3, 1.04 eV for Cu(CO)4, 1.43 eV for Cu2(CO)4, and 1.19 eV for Cu2(CO)5. All spectra exhibit a pronounced vibrational fine structure on the adiabatic photodetachment peak. The energy splitting is close to the energy of the C-O stretching vibration of the neutral cluster (final state). The DFT calculations clearly indicate that in all clusters the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is a CO-derived π* orbital. Furthermore the calculations are used to give insight into geometry, frontier orbitals, vibrational frequencies and spin multiplicity of the neutral and anionic clusters.

Anion photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT calculations study on AunRhm (n = 1–7 and m = 1–2). PES spectra, vertical and adiabatic detachment energies, are compared. The characteristic planarity for gold clusters is preserved for many of the bimetallic clusters.

The present work outlines the fair relationship of the computational model with the experiments on anion photoelectron spectroscopy for the gold-water complexes [Au(H2O)1≤n≤2]- that is established between the auride anion Au- and water monomer and dimer thanks to the nonconventional hydrogen bond where Au- casts as the nonconventional proton acceptor. This work also extends the computational model to the larger complexes [Au(H2O)3≤n≤5]- where gold considerably thwarts the shape of water clusters and even particularly breaks their conventional hydrogen bonding patterns. The fascinating phenomenon of the lavish proton acceptor character of Au- to form at least six hydrogen bonds with molecules of water is computationally unveiled in the present work for the first time.
