DFT study of Al doped cage B(12)H(n) clusters
Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311++g** level has been performed to investigate the electronic structures of cage B(12)H(n) for up to n <= 12 and AlB(12)H(n) for up to n <= 13. Moreover, the computations has been extended to the charged clusters of [B(12)H(12)](q), [AlB(12)H(12)](q) and [AlB(12)H(13)](q) where (q = +/- 1 and +/- 2). Their energetics are calculated and structural analysis have been carried out. Cage form of the B(12) remains stable against to hydrogen adsorptions.
