Abstract: Interactions between alumina and cryolite clusters were investigated using chemical reactivity descriptors based on Conceptual DFT such as global hardness, $\eta$, global softness, $S$, fukui functions, $f$, and local softness, $s$. Hard and Soft Acids and Bases (HSAB) Principle was applied for identifying clusters that are most likely to interact with alumina, Al$_2$O$_3$. Local reactivity descriptors were employed to predict the most probable regions of interaction within the cluster.

Keywords: Cryolite-Al 2O3 , charged clusters, DFT, Fukui functions
