Abstract  In this paper various structural possibilities for AlnO neutral and cationic isomers were investigated by using the B3LYP/6-311G(3df) method. Calculations of this paper predicted the existence of a number of previously unknown isomers. The stabilities of the AlnO (n=2-7) clusters with even n are greater than those with odd n, however the stabilities of cationic ions have the opposite odd--even alternation. The mass spectra observations of Al17O+ and Al19O+ ions support our theoretical predictions on their stabilities.
Keywords:  AlnO clusters      geometric configuration      ionization potentials      stability
