The Cl-3(+) cation was obtained by chlorine chemical ionization (Cl-2/
Cl) via the exothermic reaction of Cl+ transfer from Cl2H+ to chlorine
or by the endothermic reaction of Cl-2(+.) with chlorine, whereas Cl2
F+ was obtained from the reaction of XeF+ with chlorine. Both cations
were structurally and energetically characterized by Fourier transform
ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and theoretical calculation
s at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd)// CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ levels of theory. (
