Clusters containing transition metals and aliphatic ligands provide model systems regarding e.g. catalytical properties, magnetism, reactivity and structure. Thus, the successive variation of size and composition of the metal clusters can give a fundamental insight on possible cooperative effects. The investigated two- and three-centered pure and combined cationic cobalt, nickel clusters are produced by applying laser ablation to a rotating metal rod and by attaching the ethanol ligand in a supersonic beam. The frequencies and frequency shifts of OH and CH stretching vibrations (between different clusters) are probed by means of IR-photofragmentation spectroscopy. A structural assignment is performed by comparing the experimental data with calculated frequencies obtained from DFT calculations. In case of the isolated cationic (cobalt)3(ethanol)1 and (cobalt)3(ethanol)1(water)1 clusters both IR and electronic spectra (in the NIR region) are investigated through photodissociation spectroscopy. The experimentally observed spectra serve, among other aspects, as reference for theoretical calculations especially on the electronic transitions localized on the triangular Co trimer metal centre.
