Nonempirical quantum chemical ST0-3G calculations were performed for cluster models of two oxygen-bridged T04 tetrahedra (T = Si, Al). The models are based on [(H0)3T0T(0H)3]"-structures and, in case of Al-containing models (n = 1,2), their electric neutrality is ensured by adding positive point charges.The calculations suggest the occurrence of X4.I -O -Al^ pairings provided certain electric fields act at the corresponding sites. In what follow s we report on nonempirical quantum chemical calculations on the energetics of equilibriawhere M, M', and M" denote appropriate molecular cluster models for two oxygen-bridged TO4 tetra- (1) are not explicitly considered-therein. Thus, complementary information may emerge from both studies. For treating homodesmic reactions such as equilibrium (1) the Hartree-Fock level of quantum chemistry is generally accepted. Although the use of a basis set of "double zeta plus polarization" quality would be desirable, the size of the models specified below confines us to minimum or near minimum basis sets. Actually all calculations were made by means of the ST0-3G method [9].As in previous studies [7,8,10], the models M, M', and M" are primarily represented by the molecular clusters
