Ab initio calculations have been performed for the H
clusters (n = 317; odd) at MøllerPlesset second order (MP2)/6-311G(mp), MøllerPlesset complete fourth order (MP4)/6-311G(mp), and coupled-cluster single-double-triple [CCSD(T)/6-311G(1p)] levels of calculations. Such hydrogen clusters are constituted by an H
core in which H2 units are bound. In order to understand the features of these bindings, enthalpy and entropy variations upon cluster formation, binding energies, and charge distributions have been computed, and a molecular orbital analysis, based on localized orbital, was performed. Our results show that the way the first three H2 units bind to the H
core is fundamentally different from the others, providing an explanation for the binding energies observed for these molecules. For the H
, H
, and H
clusters, the way in which the external H2 units are distributed around the H
plane leads to the formation of different isomers with very close energies, but with a rotational barrier large enough to inhibit the interconversions. ©2000 American Institute of Physics.
