Abstract

The results of previous 1,2 and current theoretical studies of structural and vibrational properties of aluminium oxides are discussed. The species A1nOm (n=1.2, m=1.4) have been considered. Calculations have been performed at the SCF and MP2 levels with the 3-21G, 6−31G8 basis sets as well as with a specially designed basis suitable for a treatment of these essentially ionic compounds. GAUSSIAN 9G and GAMESS quantum chemistry packages have been used for computations. A detailed comparison has been carried out with the results of experimental investigations of matrix-isolated products of A1+O2 reactions.2,3.
