文摘

Joint research of photoelectron velocity map imaging spectroscopy and density functional theory has been performed to probe the geometrical structures and electronic properties for heterodinuclear iron–lead carbonyl cluster PbFe(CO)₄^–, which serves as a monomer of the metal–metal bonded oligomer. The photoelectron detachment of PbFe(CO)₄^– is recorded at two different photon energies with rich spectral features. The ground-state transition obtained at 532 nm reveals a broad vibrationally resolved spectral band, which corresponds to the lead–iron stretching, while the 355 nm spectrum displays many more transitions on the higher-energy side, which correspond to the electronic excited states of PbFe(CO)₄. Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP level are performed to explore the ground states of both the anionic and neutral PbFe(CO)₄ and to support spectral identification of the fine resolved photoelectron spectra. Moreover, the unique chemical bonding between lead and iron in PbFe(CO)₄ is discussed with the aid of natural bond orbital analyses.
