Presently little detailed information is available on the structure of the Ar{center_dot}CO{sub 2}{sup +} cluster ion. In a photoionization study of Ar{center_dot}CO{sub 2}{sup +}, Pratt and Dehmer determined D{sub 0}({center_dot}CO{sub 2}{sup +}) = 0.26{+-}0.03 eV (2100{+-}320 cm{sup -1}). They also concluded that the structure of Ar{center_dot}CO{sub 2}{sup +} involved major changes from the Ar{center_dot}CO{sub 2}{sup +} configuration which is known to be T shaped with an Ar-C distance 3.49{angstrom}. Recent studies of Symmetry Induced Kinetic Isotope Effects in the formation of Ar{center_dot}CO{sub 2}{sup +} have made it essential that the ground state geometry of the ion be established. Thus the authors have undertaken the following high level ab initio calculations.
