The concept of hypermetalation, characterized by molecules with unprecedented stoichiometries, is extended to the aluminum-oxygen combinations, A130and A140. Their equilibrium geometries and fundamental frequencies, as well as those of the isolated reference species AlO, Al2, Al2+, A120, A130+, A130, Al3+, Al42+, and A140, were calculated at HF/6-31G* and at various correlated levels, eg, MP2 (full)/6-31G*. Extensive searches of possible structures and electronic states were carried out. The global minima are: linear A120 (/)„*,‘.+), planar A130+() 3,'A,'), planar A130 (the Y (2A]) andT (2B2) forms have nearly the same energy), tetrahedral Al42+('A,), and planarAI40 (Dik,* Alg). All these species are very stable (with the exception of Al42+) with regard to all possible decomposition pathways. Representative dissociation energies (in kcal/mol at PMP4SDTQ/6-31 l+ G*//MP2 (full)/6-31G*+ ZPE) are: A130+, into A120+ A!+(34.1); A130, into A120+ Al (19.9); A140, into A130+ A1 (45.5) or into A120+ Al2 (37.1). Although the aluminum-oxygen attraction is largely
