English The geometries, electronic, and magnetic properties of the Au₇Hn (n = 1–10) clusters have been systematically investigated by using relativistic all-electron density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. It is found that the Au₇ on the whole retains its triangle structure after hydrogen atoms adsorption and adsorbing hydrogen atoms can stabilize the Au₇ structure. The Au₇H₇ cluster is much higher stability than the neighboring clusters. The pronounced even–odd alternation of the magnetic moments is observed in the Au₇Hn systems indicating Au₇Hn clusters possess tunable magnetic properties by adding even or odd number of H atoms.
