The geometric structures of Si n Au+ (n = 2–11, 14, and 15) clusters are investigated using density functional theory computations in combination with infrared multiple-photon dissociation spectra measured on the corresponding cluster·argon and cluster·xenon complexes. The Si n Au+ clusters adopt pl...
