The structures of (BN)_n(n≤12) clusters were studied by using genetic al rithm combined with empirical two- and three-body potentials. The low-energy structures were further optimized on the HF/6-31G(d) level. New stable isomers with line, fan, ring, double-ring, triple-ring and cage structures were obtained. The bonding properties of BN bonds in the clusters were analyzed. While atom N forms sp2 hybrid orbitals, atom B forms sp hybrid orbitals in the ring structure. Atom B bonds to three neighbor atoms by sp2 orbitals only when it is located at a node. (BN)6 is the only ring structure without tension.
