“…Again, the I h configuration was found as the lowest energy structure for these clusters from both DFT calculations considering I h , O h , and D 5 h structures and the comparison between the simulated photoelectron spectra and the measured ones. Other calculations on 18-electron systems of M@Au 12 with M = Cr, Mn + , Zr 2– , Nb – , Mo, Tc + , Ru 2+ , Hf 2– , Ta – , W, Re + , and Os 2+ − were also studied. Most of them have the lowest energy structures with I h symmetry, while Cr@Au 12 , Tc@Au 12 + , and Mn@Au 12 + have O h , O h , and T d GSs, respectively.…”
