Abstract
It has been shown by nonempirical calculations of the potential surfaces of the isomers that for the anions N3 − and N2P− linear structures are somewhat more favorable than others. For P3 − and P2N− there are several isomers lying close together: linear, angular, and cyclic. The stability of the cyclic relative to the linear isomers increases sharply when two or all of the atoms of the 2nd period are replaced by their analogs in the subgroups of the 3rd or later periods.
