| We will describe the results of high level calculations on the geometries and energetics of Nx+ and Nx- for x=3 and 5. We will describe the prediction of accurate fluoride affinities for use in establishing a Lewis acidity scale and the types of structures and bonding obtained on addition of fluoride to a molecule. We will describe accurate calculations on the structures, energetics, and bonding of novel compounds containing Xe. We will describe the bonding in small Al clusters and the need for including sigma bonds in describing aromaticity in inorganic compounds. Finally, we will describe the structures of novel IOxFy- molecules. |
