โฆ Synopsis
The structures and energies of B q , observed experimentally to be 13 an unusually abundant species among cationic boron clusters, have been studied systematically with B3LYPr6แ31G* density functional theory. The most thermodynamically stable B q and B q clusters are confirmed to have planar or 12 13 quasiplanar rather than globular structures. However, the computed dissociation energies of the 3-dimensional B q clusters are much closer to the experimental 13 values than those of the planar or quasiplanar structures. Hence, planar and 3-dimensional B q may both exist.
