Abstract: The geometrical structures of Ti8C12 with Td symmetry is optimized by quantum chemical ab intitio method. The result shows that the property of Ti8C12 in chemical reaction is reactive. The geometrical structures with Td symmetry of hydride of Ti8C12 is also explored by the same method, the stablity and reactivity of Ti8C12 H4(Td) and Ti8C12 H8(Td) is predicted. As a result, Ti8C12 H4(Td) is more stable than Ti8C12 (Td) and Ti8C12 H8(Td), moreover, Ti8C12 (Td) and Ti8C12 H8(Td) have similar stability. Thus, it can be indicated that Ti8C12 H4(Td) and Ti8C12 H8(Td) cluster can exist.
