Abstract
The heterodinuclear AuNi(CO)4- complex is scrutinized in the gas phase by using mass-selected anionic photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy in conjunction with theoretical computations. The ground state of AuNi(CO)4- is characterized to have an Au-Ni bonded structure, consisting of an AuCO fragment attached to the Ni center of the Ni(CO)3 fragment. Comprehensive quantum chemical studies reveal that the AuNi(CO)4- complex at equilibrium structure features a decentralized bonding scenario, where the exotic metal-metal σ bonding may be equally well described with dative bonding as with electron-sharing bonding between two fragments.
