Exohedral multiple bonding in polyhedra. 2. Skeletal distortions in ring-stacked boranes.

چکیده
Ring-stacked boranes of the B(10)H(10)(2)(-) and B(12)H(12)(2)(-) type, when substituted with lone pair bearing groups such as -O, -NH, and -S at the para positions, are theoretically shown to exhibit exopolyhedral multiple bonding on oxidation. Successive removal of two and four electrons from the parent B(n)H(n)(-)(2)X(2) results in highly varied and intriguing skeletal deformations that are explained using fragment molecular theory.

Reciprocal polyhedra and the Euler relationship: cage hydrocarbons, CnHn and closo-boranes [BxHx]2−
The closo-boranes B(x)H(x) (+2), or their corresponding anions [B(x)H(x)](2-) (where x = 5 through 12) and polycycloalkanes C(n)H(n) (where n represents even numbers from 6 through 20) exhibit a complementary relationship whereby the structures of the corresponding molecules, e.g., [B(6)H(6)](2-) and C(8)H(8) (cubane), are based on reciprocal polyhedra. The vertices in the closo-boranes corresp...
متن کاملMagic electron counts and bonding in tubular boranes.
Ring stacking in some closo-borane dianions and the hypothetical capped borane nanotubes, predicted to be stable earlier, is analyzed in a perturbation theoretic way. A "staggered" building up of rings to form nanotubes is explored for four- and five-membered B(n)H(n) rings. Arguments are given for the stacking of B(5)H(5) rings being energetically more favorable than the stacking of B(4)H(4) r...
متن کاملEffects of halogen substitution on the properties of eight- and nine-vertex closo-boranes.
The symmetry constrained geometries of the eight- and nine-vertex polyhedral boranes and haloboranes BnXnz (n = 8 and 9; X = H, F and Cl; z = -2, -1 and 0) were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level and their nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) were calculated using the GIAO method with Kohn-Sham orbitals. Substitution of halogens on borane cages was found to significantly impact not o...

In the title molecular salt, C(7)H(20)N(2) (2+)·2NO(3) (-), the crystal structure exhibits an unusual back-to-back paired double-stacked packing arrangement culminating in an overall double zigzag pattern of the dications. The nitrate anions form a ring around one pair of double-stacked dications. An intricate three-dimensional N-H⋯O and N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen-bonding network exists in the crystal ...
