Journal ArticleDOI

Dissected Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift Analysis of π-Aromaticity and Antiaromaticity.

Paul von Ragué Schleyer, +6 more
- 09 Aug 2001 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of the basic π-aromatic (benzene) and antiaromatic systems by dissected nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) shows the contrasting diatropics and paratropic effects, but also reveals subtleties and unexpected details.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrocarbon analogues of boron clusters--planarity, aromaticity and antiaromaticity.

Hua-Jin Zhai, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: Experimental and theoretical evidence is reported that small boron clusters prefer planar structures and exhibit aromaticity and antiaromaticity according to the Hückel rules, akin to planar hydrocarbons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Planar-to-tubular structural transition in boron clusters: B20 as the embryo of single-walled boron nanotubes.

Boggavarapu Kiran, +7 more
- 25 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: The 2D- to-3D structural transition observed at B20, reminiscent of the ring-to-fullerene transition at C20 in carbon clusters, suggests it may be considered as the embryo of the thinnest single-walled boron nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental observation and confirmation of icosahedral W@Au12 and Mo@Au12 molecules.

Xi Li, +4 more
- 16 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: The recently predicted W@Au12 cluster has been observed and probed experimentally using anion photoelectron spectroscopy, and it is shown that this unique molecule and its Mo congener indeed possess an icosahedral structure and a large HOMO-LUMO gap.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of d-orbital aromaticity.

Xin Huang, +7 more
- 11 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: While main group clusters can give rise to s- and p-aromaticity, transition-metal-containing clusters can exhibit d-orbital aromaticity or, more interestingly, d-Aromaticitydueto d bonding interactions, however, d–dbonding interactions are significantly less significant.
