Argon Adsorption on Cationic Gold Clusters Au<i><sub>n</sub></i><sup>+</sup> (<i>n</i> ≤ 20)

The interaction of Au<i><sub>n</sub></i><sup>+</sup> (<i>n</i> ≤ 20) clusters with Ar is investigated by combining mass spectrometric experiments and density functional theory calculations. We show that the inert Ar atom forms relatively strong bonds w...
