Abstract
The structure and stability of AgXen Z(n=1–3, Z=-1, 0, +1) cluster series at CCSD(T) theoretical level have been investigated. It is shown that the cations are more stable and have more compact geometries than the anions and neutrals. The role of the interaction was explained using the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis.
