Abstract

Pentacoordinate planar nonmetals (PPNs) centered in perfect pentagonal hydrocopper complexes Cu~5~H~5~X (X = B, C, N, O), as determined by density functional theory methods, are presented in this communication. The results obtained in this work complete the hypercoordinate planar carbon series with high symmetries (D~4~~h~, D~5~~h~, and D~6~~h~), and may shed new insight in catalyst chemistry.
