摘要: The structure and chemical bonding in the Re3O3− cluster are investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy density-functional theory calculations. Vibrationally-resolved spectra were obtained, yielding an accurate electron affinity (2.54 ± 0.02 eV) a ground-state ReO stretching frequency (960 30 cm−1) for Re3O3 neutral cluster. It is shown that possesses C2v (1A1) consisting of Re3 triangle with one bridging two terminal oxygens. Molecular orbital analysis reveals core conflicting d-orbital aromaticity (π-antiaromatic σ-aromatic), consistent its symmetry. Well-resolved photodetachment transitions from Re 5dz2 δ orbitals allow bond strength resonance energy delocalized δ-bond to be estimated.
