Joint photoelectron and theoretical study of (Rh(m)Co(n))⁻ (m=1-5, n=1-2) cluster anions and their neutral counterparts.

Anion photoelectron spectroscopic experiments and calculations based on density functional theory have been used to investigate and uniquely identify the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of both neutral and anionic (Rh(m)Co(n)) and (Rh(m)Co(n))(-) (m=1-5, n=1-2) clusters, respectively. Negative ion photoelectron spectra are presented for electron binding energies up to 3.493 eV.
