The full configuration interaction (FCI) study of the ground state of the neutral beryllium trimer has been performed using an atomic natural orbitals [3s2p1d] basis set. Both triangular and linear structures have been considered for the Be(3) cluster. The optimal geometry for the equilateral triangle has been calculated. The potential energy cut sections along the normal a(1)(') mode and one of the components of the e(') mode have then been studied. The FCI symmetric atomization potential of the linear cluster is also reported. It shows a secondary van der Waals minimum at a long bond distance. All singular points in the potential energy curves are characterized. Other properties, like dissociation energies D(e) and vibrational frequencies, have been estimated from a fourth-order fitting of a large range of points around the minima. The calculated FCI wave number values for the nu(1) and nu(2) normal modes are (467.33+/-0.43) cm(-1) and (390.77+/-0.56) cm(-1).
