Homoleptic dinuclear beryllium carbonyl cation complexes have been produced and characterized in the gas phase. Infrared photodissociation spectroscopic and theoretical results confirm that Be (CO) is a coordination saturated complex that can be assigned to a mixture of two almost isoenergetic structural isomers. Besides a beryllium-beryllium single-bonded (OC) Be-Be(CO) isomer, another structure involving an unusual end-on and side-on bridging carbonyl ligand with very low carbonyl stretching frequency is identified.
