摘要
Perfect symmetry: Photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations show that the B8 and B9 rings are stabilized by the metal atoms in CoB8- and RuB9-, which possess D8h and D9h symmetry, respectively (see picture). The bonding between the metal atom and the boron ring is described by six delocalized σ electrons and six delocalized π electrons, which result in double aromaticity. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
