Heteronuclear calcium-iron carbonyl cation complexes in the form of [CaFe(CO)<sub>n</sub> ]<sup>+</sup> (n=5-12) are produced in the gas phase. Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations confirm that the n=10 complex is the coordination saturated ion where a Fe(CO)<sub>4</sub> fragment is bonded with a Ca(CO)<sub>6</sub> fragment through two side-on bridging carbonyl ligands. Bonding analysis indicates that it is best described by the bonding intera ...[more]
