摘要
In this joint experimental and theoretical work we present a novel type of structural transition occurring in the series of CxB8-x- (x = 1-8) mixed clusters upon increase of the carbon content from x = 2 to x = 3. The wheel to ring transition is surprising because it is rather planar-to-linear type of transition to be expected in the series since B-8, B-8(-), B-8(2-) and CB7- are known to possess wheel-type global minimum structures while C-8 is linear.
