Abstract

AbstractThis article presents computational insights into the geometric and electronic structures of NbSi4−/0 clusters using density functional theory and the CASSCF/CASPT2 method. The anionic and neutral ground states are identified as the 1A′ and 2A′ states, respectively, within a trigonal bipyramidal isomer where the Nb atom occupies the equatorial position. The adiabatic detachment energy for the transition from the anionic ground state 1A′ to the neutral ground state 2A′ is estimated to be 2.30 eV. Additionally, an evaluation of the vertical detachment energies for transitions to the neutral states 12A′, 12A″, 22A′, 22A″, 32A′, 32A″, and 42A′ yields respective values of 2.42, 2.78, 2.94, 3.34, 3.86, 4.08, and 4.28 eV. These computed electron detachment energies successfully account for all five bands observed in the photoelectron spectrum of the anionic cluster. Furthermore, the Franck–Condon factor simulations reveal extensive vibrational progressions associated with the transition to the neutral ground state 12A′, manifesting as an unresolved broad band at 2.41 eV in the spectrum.
