The structure and the dipole polarizabilities of Sn clusters (n = 2−12) have been calculated using density functional theory within the B3LYP approximation and conventional ab initio Hartree−Fock (HF) and coupled-cluster with single and double and perturbative triple excitations (CCSD(T)) methods. The results show that the binding energy per atom increases with the size of the cluster and reaches the asymptotic limit for a relatively small n value. There is an excellent agreement between B3LYP and CCSD(T) data in predicting the energy of the disproportionation reaction 2Sn → Sn-1 + Sn+1, which indicates that S2, S6, and S8 are especially stable, in agreement with the experiment. 〈α〉 increases with n and linearly correlates with the molecular volume. 〈α〉/n increases with n and reaches the asymptotic limit per n → ∞ from below, contrary to what happens in small semiconductor and metallic clusters. A well-defined correlation between 〈α〉 and hardness is not found, while the 〈αn〉 − n〈α1〉 difference value linea...
