Structure and Bonding in B6- and B6: Planarity and Antiaromaticity

Abstract

The electronic structure and chemical bonding of B 6 - and B 6 were investigated using anion photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculation. Vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra were obtained for B 6 - and were compared to calculations performed at various levels of theory. Extensive searches were carried out for the global minimum of B 6 -, which was found to have a planar D 2 h structure with a doublet ground state ( 2 B 2g ). Good agreement was observed between ab initio detachment energies and the experimental spectra, establishing that the ground-state structure of B 6 - is planar, in contrast to the three-dimensional structures for the valence-isoelectronic Al 6 - and Al 6 species. The chemical bonding in B 6 - was interpreted in terms of linear combinations of molecular orbitals of two B 3 - fragments. The antiaromatic nature of chemical bonding was established for B 6 - and B 6 2-, based on the analysis of orbital contributions to overall paratropic ring currents.

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.
