contents In this work, we employ density functional theory (DFT) to explore the structure of boron clusters doped with two aluminium atoms (B$_7$Al$_2$ or Al$_2$B$_7$). The results show that the most stable structure is a bipyramidal configuration formed by a B$_7$ ring coordinated with two Al atoms, while the higher energy isomers correspond to peripheral Al$_2$-doped B$_7$ structures. The IR spectra and density of states reveal remarkable differences between the global minimum and the higher energy isomers.
