Popis: Dissociation energies as well as electronic and geometric structure of singly charged xenon cluster cations, Xe n + ( n =3–35), are calculated using the extended diatomics-in-molecules method (including the spin–orbit coupling and the most important ionic and neutral three-body interactions) and the state-of-the-art ab initio diatomic curves for Xe 2 + due to Paidarova and Gadea [Chem. Phys. 274 (2001) 1]. Cluster growth of Xe n + and size dependence of the positive charge delocalization are discussed. The calculated dissociation energies are used to estimate the evaporation energies for Xe n + →Xe n −1 + +Xe and to study the stability of the Xe n + clusters. The results obtained are compared with available experimental and theoretical data.
