摘要: Large coupled cluster computations utilizing the Dunning weighted correlation-consistent polarized core-valence (cc-pwCVXZ) hierarchy of basis sets have been conducted, resulting in a panoply internally consistent geometries and atomization energies for small Lin LinH (n=1–4) clusters. In contrast to previous ab initio results, we predict monotonic increase per atom with increasing size lithium clusters, accordance historical Knudsen-effusion measurements Wu. For hydrogenated our results support theoretical work concerning relatively low energy Li2H compared LiH Li3H. The CCSD(T)/cc-pwCVQZ LiH, Li2H, Li3H, most stable isomer Li4H, including zero-point corrections, are 55.7, 79.6, 113.0, 130.6 kcal/mol, respectively. latter not recent experiments
