The minimum‐energy structures and bonding properties of the hydrogenated lithium clusters, Li 4 H 2 and Li 7 H, have been investigated by means of an ab initio Monte Carlo simulated annealing method. The minimum‐energy structures of Li 4 H 2 and Li 7 H are found to resemble those of the triangular planar (D 3h ) isomer of Li 6 and T d isomer of Li 8 clusters, respectively. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
