Popis: We report on a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the ionization potentials of small lithium monocarbide clusters. The clusters were produced by a laser vaporization source, and their ionization potentials were measured by threshold photoionization spectroscopy. The structures of the smaller clusters (n≤8), which are governed by hypervalent (hyperlithiated) bonding mechanisms, were calculated by means of density functional theory. Vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials were computed and compared with the experimental data.
