Computational studies of small beryllium clusters (Be) predict dramatic, nonmonotonic changes in the bonding mechanisms and per-atom cohesion energies with increasing . To date, experimental tests of these quantum chemistry models are lacking for all but the Be molecule. In the present study, we report spectroscopic data for Be and Be obtained via anion photodetachment spectroscopy.
