Abstract

Ionization potentials of LinHm clusters have been measured by photoionization. As in Lin, odd—even alternations and shell-closing effects are observed. In a first approximation, we find that LinH clusters behave like Lin−1 and LinH2 like Lin−2. The results may be interpreted by assuming that the bonding of one hydrogen localizes one electron and that the other electrons remain delocalized.
