Abstract:We investigate Ge3n+1O–/0 (n = 1–3) clusters using
anion photoelectron
spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The results show that the
lowest energy structure of Ge4O– is a
bent C
s symmetric trigonal bipyramidal
structure, while Ge4O has a C
3v symmetric trigonal bipyramidal structure. Ge7O– has two coexisting low-lying isomers, the first one can be viewed
as a Ge2O unit interacting with a Ge5 trigonal
bipyramid, the second one can be regarded as an O atom interacting
with a Ge7 pentagonal bipyramid; whe… Show more
