DETERMINATION OF THE VALUES OF Δ<sub>f</sub>H<sup>0</sup><sub>298,15</sub> OF (Al)n CLUSTERS WITH n = 3-10
The values of -f H2<sub>9g</sub>.<sub>15</sub> of(Al)n clusters with n = 3-10 are determined on the basis of thermochemistry of the isodesmic reactions calculated using the results of the quantum mechanical modeling. As a result, the following values of -f H2<sub>9g</sub>.<sub>15</sub> are proposed: 551 ± 16 (n = 3), 668 ± 8 (n = 4), 720 ± 16 (n = 5), 769 ± 9 (n = 6), 776 ± 29 (n = 7), 853 ± 32 (n = 8), 931 ± 33 (n = 9), and 906 ± 33 kJ/mol (n = 1o).
