Аннотация:The structure, energy, vibrational, and magnetic characteristics of stepwise-hydrogenated borondoped aluminum clusters B@A(12)H(2n)(-) (n = 1-6) have been calculated by ab initio density functional theory B3LYP method with the basis sets 6-31G* and 6-311+G*. The results are compared with those of analogous calculations of the related series Al@A(12)H(2n)(t-). The substitution of boron for the endohedral aluminum atom sharply changes the structure of isomers, their arrangement on the energy scale, and their stability toward the elimination of H-2 molecules. Differences in the behavior of these properties on varying n in the Al@A(12)H(2n)(t-) and B@A(12)H(2n)(t-) families are traced, and the effect of the dopant on these properties is examined.
