Journal ArticleDOI
All-Boron Aromatic Clusters as Potential New Inorganic Ligands and Building Blocks in Chemistry
Anastassia N. Alexandrova,Alexander I. Boldyrev,Hua-Jin Zhai,Hua-Jin Zhai,Lai-Sheng Wang,Lai-Sheng Wang +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of small boron clusters as individual species in the gas phase is presented, and the planarity of the species has been further elucidated on the basis of multiple aromaticity, multiple antiaromaticity, and conflicting aromaticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepta‐ and Octacoordinate Boron in Molecular Wheels of Eight‐ and Nine‐Atom Boron Clusters: Observation and Confirmation
Hua-Jin Zhai,Anastassia N. Alexandrova,K. Alexander Birch,Alexander I. Boldyrev,Lai-Sheng Wang +4 more
TL;DR: Experimental and theoretical evidence is reported that 8- and 9-atom boron clusters are perfectly planar molecular wheels, with a hepta- or octacoordinated central borons atom, respectively, despite the predominance of three-dimensional structures normally found in bulk bor on and its compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the Na x Cl x+1 - (x=1-4) clusters via ab initio genetic algorithm and photoelectron spectroscopy
Anastassia N. Alexandrova,Alexander I. Boldyrev,You-Jun Fu,Xin Yang,Xue-Bin Wang,Lai-Sheng Wang +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an ab initio gradient embedded genetic algorithm program was used to detect the linear global minima for NaCl(2) (-) and Na2)Cl(3) (-), and three-dimensional structures for the larger species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Search for the Lin(0/+1/-1) (n = 5-7) Lowest-Energy Structures Using the ab Initio Gradient Embedded Genetic Algorithm (GEGA). Elucidation of the Chemical Bonding in the Lithium Clusters.
TL;DR: The molecular orbital analysis of the found Lin(0/+1/)(-)(1) (n = 5-7) clusters showed the presence of multiple (σ and π) aromatic character in their chemical bonding, which governs their preferable shapes and special stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure and chemical bonding of B5− and B5 by photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations
TL;DR: In this article, the electronic structure and chemical bonding of B5− and B5 were investigated using anion photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, and the experimental spectra were obtained and compared to theoretical calculations performed at various levels of theory.
