Abstract

We present an optimum valence bond scheme to study important stable geometric structures of clusters, by combining the characteristics of frontier molecular orbitals and the first-principle molecular dynamics simulation. It is interesting to note that even for small size clusters it has already provided clues in some macroscopic properties of the second- and the third-row elements in the period table (e.g. melting and boiling point).
