Nauky, 46, 03680, Kyiv, Ukraine aut Atomic Composition, Structure, and Vibrational Spectra of Germanium Clusters Terminated by Iodine [Elektronische Daten] [Andriy Dmytruk] Hitherto unexplored iodine-terminated germanium clusters GenIm +, n=1-30, m=0-49 have been formed by pulsed laser ablation of crystalline germanium tetraiodide in vacuum, and in situ analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (TOF MS). The most abundant cluster found is Ge2I3 +. The structures of the clusters have been elucidated by extensive ab initio calculations at B3LYP/6-311G* theory level, as well as their infrared absorption intensity and Raman scattering activity spectra. A tendency to form preferentially chain-like clusters for n<7, ring-like ones for n=7-8, and compact Ge9 and Ge10 cores for n>8 has been supposed from the cluster composition TOF MS data, and confirmed by the calculations.
