An ab initio study of the molecular geometry and stability of La(H 2 O) n 3+( n = 8–9) clusters at the restricted Hartree–Fock and second‐order Møller–Plesset levels is reported. The results obtained indicate that in aqueous solutions, the La 3+ ion is primarily 9‐coordinate. The most popular DFT functionals were tested to calculated the dimensions of the La(H 2 O) 9 3+aqua ion. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007
