Silicon oxide cluster cations $Si_{n}O_{m}^{+}$ are especially interesting in the context of interstellar dust particles and might be carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). To date, $SiO$ and different $Si_{n}C_{m}$ clusters were found in circumstellar envelopes.
In this talk we present our results on the fairly small but nevertheless complicated $Si_{3}O_{2}^{+}$ system. We discuss the optical spectrum obtained by photodissociation in the gas phase and compare that to quantum chemical calculations.
Spoiler, the observed spectrum of $Si_{3}O_{2}^{+}$ does not match any known DIB.
