Abstract

, respectively, and from a comprehensive analysis of its bonding characteristics, charge density distribution, electron localization function, molecular orbitals and energy decomposition, all showing a strong involvement of its 3d electrons in chemical bonding. The replacement of CN with BO is found to increase the zinc binding energy even further.
