Hepta‐ and Octacoordinate Boron in Molecular Wheels of Eight‐ and Nine‐Atom Boron Clusters: Observation and Confirmation
Abstract
Two types of aromaticity: Experimental and theoretical evidence shows that eight- and nine-atom boron clusters are perfectly planar molecular wheels, with a hepta- or octacoordinated central boron atom, respectively (see picture, B green). The radii of the miniature molecular wheels are found to be 1.8 and 2.0 Å. Analyses of their chemical bonding reveal that they possess double (σ and π) aromaticity, which is responsible for the wheel structures and the extreme coordination environments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
