Abstract
Collision experiments are reported for the generation and characteriza tion of the neutral and cationic Si2O2 molecule. In addition to the ex perimental characterization of Si2O2, high-level ab initio calculation s (CCSD(T)/PVTZ//MP2/6-31 IG(df)) have been performed in order to supp ort the experimental findings. The study reveals that the global minim um on both cationic and neutral surfaces corresponds to a bicyclic rho mbohedric structure.
