AI Article Synopsis

  • - To address the chemical instability of boron due to its lack of electrons, two types of dative π bonds are suggested.
  • - These bonds help to stabilize boron atoms in the creation of boron-based clusters, which have hypercoordinate centers.
  • - The goal is to develop more stable compounds that can be synthesized effectively in a solid, condensed phase.

Article 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.
