摘要
Ring current maps for the toroidal boron clusters B-2n (n = 6-14) are computed within the ipsocentric approach. They reveal double aromaticity for the clusters with even it but mixed aromaticity for those with odd n, consistent with angular momentum selection rules extended to the separate radial and tangential manifolds of molecular orbitals.
