摘要: Al 13 – is a cluster known for the pronounced stability that arises from coincident closures of its geometric and electronic shells. We present experimental evidence very stable corresponding to I . Ab initio calculations show features structurally unperturbed core region high charge density on aluminum vertex opposite iodine atom. This ionically bound magic can be understood by considering has an structure reminiscent halogen Comparisons polyhalides provide sound explanation our chemical observations.
