Because of its element specific nature, X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a perfect tool to study the local electronic structure of individual constituents of binary clusters. We apply this method to transition metal doped Sin+ clusters in the size range of n=4–19 and show how geometric and electronic structure are interlinked in magic VSi16+ and close-to- magic TiSi16+ and CrSi16+ clusters. The high symmetry of these doped silicon cages is evident from X-ray absorption spectra at the transition metal and silicon 2p edges. Determination of the direct silicon 2p photoionization threshold reveals electronic shell closure and a large HOMO-LUMO gap in VSi16+. The transition from exohedral to endohedral doping is reflected in changes of local electronic structure of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, and Mn doped Sin+ clusters. While the local magnetic moment seems to be quenched in TiSi16+, VSi16+, and CrSi16+, we find spectral signatures of a local d5 configuration at the Mn dopant in MnSi14+, indicating a high magnetic moment in this doped semiconductor cage.
