The vertical ionization potentials of 7 cesium and 86 oxidized cesium clusters were determined using the technique of photoionization mass spectrometry. The spectra were obtained using a tunable cw dye laser for clusters in a mass range 1 to 2024 amu. The vertical ionization potentials (IP) are presented as a function of size and composition. The ionization energies of cesium clusters, Csn, decrease with cluster size. Unusually low IP were observed for the enneamer, Cs9, and for the cesium monoxide CS11O. With increasing oxidation of the cesium metal clusters the IP decreases (suboxides) reaches a minimum at Cs(Cs2O)n and then increases (superoxides).
