Abstract: In this paper, ab initio calculations on Sc13 are performed based on the symmetry reduction of icosahedral group.The ground state configuration is ag2t1M6hg10ag2gM8t2M6t1M5,2T1u, which is in agreement with the ESRexplanations.The calculated results indicate that during the formation of the Sc13 the Sc atoms undergo an s-d electron excitation, i.e., from filled 4s shells to unfilled 3d shells, so 4s and 3d electrons all play an important role in the bonding.The bond energy Sc13 can exist stably.The reasonable choice of the contracted degree of the used basis set is very important to describe wavefunction of Sc13.
