31. The IP and EA are calculated from the geometry of the neutral structure. The multiplicity of cation in IP calculation is the one right below that of the neutral cluster, and the multiplicity of anion in EA calculation is the one right above the neutral cluster. This might be different from experimental observation due to the stability of cations and anions.
