Abstract:This work reports the observation and characterization of heterobinuclear transition-metal main-group metal oxide carbonyl complex anions, RuGeO(CO) n − (n = 3−5), by combining mass-selected photoelectron velocity map imaging spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations. The experimentally determined vertical electron detachment energy of RuGeO(CO) 3 − surpasses those of RuGeO(CO) 4 − and RuGeO(CO) 5 − , which is attributed to distinctive bonding features. RuGeO(CO) 3 − manifests one covalent σ and two Ru-t… Show more
