Ab initio molecular orbital theory (Moeller-Plesset theory to fourth order and a series of extended basis sets) is used to compute energies of AH/sub n//sup +/ monocations, A = Li to B and Na to Al. In combination with previously published results on the neutral species, these data are used to obtain ionization potentials, proton affinities, and enthalpies of formation. Structural predictions for these cations are also discussed.
