Abstract
Parametrization of MNDO for aluminum and comparisons of calculated molecular properties with experimental values indicate the general usefulness of MNDO to study aluminumโcontaining compounds. Although results are not as good as for molecules containing only C, H, N, and O, they are nevertheless accurate enough to be useful, especially when predictive biases noted in this article are considered. Inclusion of the d orbital in the MNDO scheme may improve the aluminum results. Results for boronโcontaining molecules not previously reported are also reported in this article.

MNDO has been parametrized for iodine. Since d atomic orbitals (AOS) are not included, the calculations are restricted to 1'. Heats of formation, molecular geometries, ionization energies, and dipole moments are reproduced with useful accuracy.
Discussions are presented to get a unified picture for the boron-based and aluminum-based compounds constructed from icosahedral clusters. Twelve-atom centerless icosahedra, Al 12 and B 12 , have a covalent bonding nature, though 13-atom centered ones, Al 13 and B 13 , are metallic. Stabilization me
