Abstract: NBO charges of[M(H2O)6]3+ (M=Sc~Co),[Co (Ⅲ) L6] (L=F-, H2O, NH3, CN-), Al3O(OH)7(H2O)5 (Al3) and Al6O6(OH)6(H2O)5 (Al6) created based on α-Al2O3 were calculated at B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level of density functional theory (DFT). Except for[Co(NH3)6]3+, they all violate the principle of electroneutrality (EN) by having charges out-side the range of +1 to -1. In addition, the charge for the central metal ion is drastically influenced by the type of the coordination atoms, which is not included in the current EN principle. The charges of Co3+ in[CoF6]3- and[Co(CN)6]3- were found to be 1.639 and -1.360, respectively. When the ionic potential of the central atom increases, its charge would decrease. Based on our calculation, we predict the charge of Al in α-Al2O3 is 2.1±0.1.
