摘要: The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of VGen-/0 (n = 3-12) clusters were investigated using anion photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations. We found that the dominant geometries are exohedral for n <= 7. VGe8-/0 have half-encapsulated boat-shaped structures, opening structure is gradually covered by additional Ge atoms to form Ge-n cage from 9-11. At 12, a D-3d distorted hexagonal prism formed. According natural population analysis, both anionic neutral VGen 8-12, there electron transfer framework V atom total moments decrease minima. pattern minimization these related their structural evolution.
