The idea of planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) was considered implausible for a hundred
years after 1874. Examples of ptC were then predicted computationally and realized …

Aromaticity is indispensable for explaining a variety of chemical behaviors, including
reactivity, structural features, relative energetic stabilities, and spectroscopic properties …

Carbon centres in typical organic molecules have a coordination number that can reach a
maximum of four, in which case the bonded atoms are situated at the vertices of a …

In this work, we used the induced magnetic field (B ind) to study the degree of aromaticity of
the planar (HF) 3 ring. The induced magnetic field analysis shows that the degree of electron …

A new approach to stabilize compounds containing a planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC),
embedded in aromatic hydrocarbons, is presented herein. This is achieved by using ligands …

Ab initio and DFT calculations have been carried out to search for the simplest neutral
singlet species with double planar tetracoordinate carbons (dptCs)[the “simplest” means the …

Recently, we reported a series of global minima whose structures consist of carbon rings
decorated with heavier group 14 elements. Interestingly, these structures feature planar …

Stabilization of planar tetra-coordinate silicon (ptSi) was achieved in compounds and 2D-
layered extended systems, in which single molecular ptSi in C12H8Si captures four …

A simple and chemically intuitive approach is used to design ptC-containing E–C clusters
(E= Si–Pb). This approach consists in replacing three or two consecutive protons from an …

The structure, bonding, and stability of clusters with the empirical formula CE5−(E= Al–Tl)
have been analyzed by means of high‐level computations. The results indicate that …
