Photoionization of Nb3CO and Nb3(CO)2: Is CO molecularly or dissociatively adsorbed on niobium?

The photoionization efficiency spectra of gas-phase Nb3CO and Nb3(CO)2 have been acquired using a laser-ablation, photoionization mass spectrometer. The adiabatic ionization energies of the species are 5.82 ± 0.02 and 5.85 ± 0.02 eV, respectively, where error bars reflect precision; the values are a...
