Abstract
The aromaticity of planar and highly symmetric three-dimensional hydrogen clusters were evaluated with the complete basis set ab initio computational method. The energy of formation of the hydrogen clusters from the hydrogen molecule and hydrogen molecular ions were used in comparison to their relative stabilities. The aromaticity of planar hydrogen clusters, as well as hydrogen clusters in the three dimensions, arranged as highly symmetric regular polyhedra (Plato's polyhedras), were discussed with respect to the Hückel and Möbius aromatic rules.
