Deltahedral boranes tensor surface harmonic theory

The core and surface orbitals defined above by tensor surface harmonic theory can be related to the following aspects of the graph-theory-derived model for the skeletal bonding in boranes with the deltahedral structures depicted in Figure 4 ... [Pg.375]

Chemical bonding models based on graph theory or tensor surface harmonic theory demonstrate the analogy between the aromaticity in two-dimensional planar polygonal hydrocarbons such as benzene and that in three-dimensional deltahedral borane anions of the type B F1 (6 < n < 12). Such models are supported both by diverse computational studies and experimental determinations of electron density distribution. Related methods can be used to study the chemical bonding in the boron polyhedra found in... [Pg.32]
