M©B<sub>7</sub>O<sub>7</sub><sup>+</sup> (M = Ni, Pd, Pt): aromatic molecular stars with a planar heptacoordinate transition metal
Bo Jin, Rui Sun, Bin Huo, Caixia Yuan, Yan‐Bo Wu
Abstract
Global π-aromaticity is absent in thermodynamically stable M©B 7 O 7 + (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) clusters containing seven σ-donating and π-accepting boron atoms and an exotic planar heptacoordinate transition metal atom.
