Structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the golden cage doped with a transition-metal atom, MAu16(M=Fe,Co,Ni),are investigated using trapped ion electron diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy, and density-functional theory. The best agreement to experiment is obtained for endohedral M@Au16 structures but with considerable distortions to the parent Au16 cage. Fe@Au16 and Co@Au16 are found to have similar structures with C2 symmetry while a C1 structure is obtained for Ni@Au16. The 4s electrons are observed to transfer to the Au16 cage, whereas atomiclike magnetism due to the unpaired 3d electrons is retained for all the doped clusters.
