The results of a theoretical study on the formation of the nitrogen cluster N10 from the ionic species N5+ and N5− are presented. The possibility to form N8 from N5+ and N3− has also been studied but no stable form was found. Structural and vibrational data are given for the different clusters. It is suggested that the anion N5− might be stable enough to be synthesized. The calculations have been carried out using multiconfigurational self-consistent-field wave functions and second-order perturbation theory.
