Abstract
(Figure Presented) Golden cage: The two smallest anionic gold cages, Au<sub>16</sub><sup>-</sup> and Au<sub>17</sub><sup>-</sup>, are doped with a Cu atom to give the cluster anions CuAu<sub>16</sub><sup>-</sup> (see picture) and CuAu<sub>17</sub><sup>-</sup>, respectively. The photoelectron spectra of CuAu<sub>16</sub><sup>-</sup> and CuAu<sub>17</sub><sup>-</sup> suggest that the doping does not alter the structures of the parent cages. Theoretical studies confirm that the Cu atom resides in the center of the gold cages, similar to the situation with endohedral fullerenes. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
