Abstract

Joint chemisorption experiment and first-principles theory investigations indicated that a size-selected quasi-planar B 36 + can chemisorb up to six CO consecutively to form quasi-planar boron carbonyl complexes B 36 (CO) n + ( n = 1–6) analogous to coronene monocation C 24 H 12 + in a π-bonding pattern.
