On the Electronic Structures of Gaseous Transition Metal Halide Complexes, FeX4- and MX3- (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, X=C1, Br) Using Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Density Functional Calculations

Abstract

We report a photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and theoretical study on a serious of transition metal halide complexes: FeX4 and MX3 (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, X=C1, Br). PES spectra were obtained at two photon energies (193 and 157 nm), revealing the complicated electronic structures of these metal complexes and their variation with the ligand-field geometry and metal center substitution.
