Electron-compensation: a valid strategy for chemically stabilizing boron-based clusters with hypercoordinate centres
Bo Jin, Caixia Yuan, Gang Lü, Yan‐Bo Wu
Abstract
To eliminate the chemical instability caused by the electron-deficiency of boron, two types of usual dative π bonds are recommended for compensating boron atoms in the computational design of boron-based clusters having hypercoordinate centres, which can lead to unusually stable targets for synthesis in the condensed phase.
