✦ Synopsis

Photoelectron spectra of hexafluorobenzene (C6Fa) cluster anions and its Au complex anion were measured in the gas phase at the photon energy of 3.49 eV, using a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer having a SO meV resolution. The spectra show unresolved broad features: The vertical detachment energies (VDEs ) were determined from the maxima of the spectra. The VDE of (C6F6); gradually increases by 0.1-0.2 eV with the cluster size (n= l-8) from 1.56(3) to 2.54(6) eV, and the VDE of (Au-&F,)-anion is 1.99( 5) eV.
