We study the structure and electronic properties of (TiO 2) 2–10 clusters by using basin
hopping based on density functional theory, combined with many-body perturbation theory.
We show that in photoemission experiments performed on anions isomers with high electron
affinity are selectively observed rather than those with the lowest energy. These isomers
possess a highly reactive Ti 3+ site. The selectivity for highly reactive clusters may be
exploited for applications in catalysis.
