Using a combination of density functional theory and anion photoelectron spectroscopy experiment, we have studied the structure and electronic properties of CuCl n − (n = 1–5) and Cu2Cl n − (n = 2–5) clusters. Prominent peaks in the mass spectrum of these clusters occurring at n = 2, 3, and 4 in CuCl n − and at n = 3, 4, and 5 in Cu2Cl n − are shown to be associated with the large electron affinities of their neutral clusters that far exceed the value of Cl. While CuCl n(n …
