Methyne Capping in the Boron Buckyball : A Viable Possibility
Jules Tshishimbi Muya, Minh Tho Nguyen, Arnout Ceulemans
We report the electronic structure of methyne boron buckyballs B68(CH)12 and B72(CH)8 obtained by substituting respectively 12 and 8 boron cap atoms by methyne CH groups on the bor…
Chemical Bonding in the Boron Buckyball
Arnout Ceulemans, Jules Tshishimbi Muya, G. Gopakumar +1
A symmetry analysis of the valence shell in the boron buckyball B80, shows a perfect match with the symmetry of the valence shell in C60 .The cap atoms participate in the bonding b…
The Boron Buckyball has an Unexpected Th Symmetry
G. Gopakumar, Minh Tho Nguyen, Arnout Ceulemans
The boron buckyball avoids the high symmetry icosahedral cage structure. The previously reported Ih symmetric structure is not an energy minimum in the potential energy surface and…
