We use the scalar relativistic ionized equation-of-motion coupled-cluster approaches, correlating valence and semi-core electrons and including up to 3-hole-2-particle terms in the ionizing operator, to investigate the photoelectron spectrum of Au{sub 3}{sup −}. We provide an accurate assignment of peaks and shoulders in the experimental photoelectron spectrum of Au{sub 3}{sup −} for the first time.
