Abstract

Various isomers of the trigonal dianion metal clusters, X2-3, X = Be, Mg, Ca, and their mono- and disodium complexes are optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level. Different conceptual density functional theory based reactivity descriptors as well as the induced magnetic field values are calculated to understand the stability and aromaticity of these systems. Possibility of bond stretch isomerism is explored. Genetic algorithm results lend additional insights into the structures of these isomers.
