Density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster theory (CCSD(T)) calculations were employed to investigate the structural and electronic properties of NbS₆^- and NbS₆ clusters. Generalized Koopmans’ theorem was applied to predict the vertical detachment energies and simulate the photoelectron spectra (PES). The current study indicated that various types of sulfur ligands (i.e., S²^-, S₂^-, S₂²^- and S₃²^-) were presented in the lowest-energy structures of NbS₆^-/0. The ground-state structure of NbS₆^- is shown to be C_s (¹A') symmetry with a terminal S²^-, a side-on bound S₂²^- and a S₃²^- ligands. Molecular orbital analyses were performed to analyze the chemical bonding in NbS₆^-/0 clusters and elucidate their structural and electronic properties.
