It is known that up to Li5 the most stable forms are planar and Li6 cluster has one planar isomer. However stable planar isomers for larger Li clusters have never been found. In this paper, we searched stable planar isomers for Lin (n=7 -10) clusters by using B3LYP density functional method. We didn't find planar isomers for Lin (n=7 -8) clusters but found one planar isomer for each Li9 and Li10. We discussed the characters of bonds in the planar isomers for Li9 and Li10.
