Abstract

Stabilization of cyclic mercury clusters is discussed using the MNDO method. The bonding character of the highest occupied molecular orbital is shown to be one of the essential criteria of the relative stability of these systems. This criterion max be satisfied by structures with both direct and indirect (via the bridging chlorine atoms) bonding of mercury atoms.
