摘要：Hund’s term rules are only valid for isolated atoms, but have no generalization for molecules or clusters of several atoms. We present a benchmark calculation of Al₂ and Al₃, for which we find the high and low-spin ground states ³Π_u and , respectively. We show that the relative stabilities of all the molecular terms of Al₂ and Al₃ can be described by simple rules pertaining to bonding structures and symmetries, which serve as guiding principles to determine ground state terms of arbitrary multi-atom clusters.
