| Résumé | Density functional calculations of neutral and cationic vanadium trimers are presented. The all-electron calculations employed a gradient-corrected exchange-correlation functional and a newly developed vanadium basis set optimized for gradient-corrected density functional calculations. For both neutral and charged systems, different isomers were studied in order to determine the lowest energy structures. A vibrational analysis was performed in order to characterize these isomers. We found an equilateral triangle 2A<sub>1</sub><sup>[prime]</sup> ground state for V3 and an equilateral triangle 3A<sub>2</sub><sup>[prime]</sup> ground state for V<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>. The experimental pulsed-field ionization zero-electron-kinetic energy spectrum was simulated by calculating multidimensional Franck�Condon factors, using the geometries and harmonic frequencies of the calculated minima of V3 and V<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>. The excellent agreement between the experimental and theoretical spectra allows the unequivocal determination of the ground state structure of V3. This work provides a final answer to the controversy in the literature about the ground state structure of V3 and yields deeper insight into the electronic structure of the neutral and cationic systems. |
