Abstract
In this article, we analyze the stability, reactivity, and possible aromatic behavior of two recently reported clusters (Reveles, J. U.; Khanna, S. N.; Roach, P. J.; Castleman, A. W., Jr. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2006, 103, 18405), viz., Al(7)C(-) and Al(7)O(-) in the light of the principles of the maximum hardness and minimum electrophilicity as well as the nucleus-independent chemical shift values. Stability of these clusters in the context of addition/removal of an electron or an Al atom is now clearly understood.
