In this work we explored the competition between spin-orbit and Jahn-Teller effects as decisive influences in the ground states of the T-d Au-20 (+/-gamma) (gamma=1,2,3). All our electronic calculations were based in the relativistic density functional theory in the zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) to the Dirac equation. Calculations were done in both versions of ZORA: scalar relativistic and full-relativistic including the spin-orbit interaction. We concluded that for the Au-20 (-3) ion is necessary to use a full-relativistic theory in order to predict a symmetry-lowering from tetrahedral. We predict a trigonal C-3v isomeric form for this trianion due to a Jahn-Teller distortion of its parent T-d. For the rest of ions we found a tendency to conserve their pristine tetrahedral configurations. In these cases we found one of both possibilities: a quenching of the vibronic interaction by spin-orbit coupling or simply a weak Jahn-Teller effect which is not enough to distort appreciably the cluster.
