In the last decades, experimental techniques in conjunction with theoretical analyses have
revealed the surprising structural diversity of boron clusters. Although the 2D to 3D transition …

Conspectus Isolated boron clusters exhibit many intriguing properties, which have only
recently been unfolding with the hand-in-hand advancement of state-of-the-art experimental …

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) in combination with computational chemistry has been
used systematically over the past decade to elucidate the structures and chemical bonding …

Elemental boron is electron-deficient and cannot form graphene-like structures. Instead,
triangular boron lattices with hexagonal vacancies have been predicted to be stable. A …

We describe joint experimental and theoretical studies carried out collaboratively in the
authors' labs for understanding the structures and chemical bonding of novel atomic …

Two low‐lying structures are unveiled for the Be6B11− nanocluster system that are virtually
isoenergetic. The first, triple‐layered cluster has a peripheral B11 ring as central layer, being …

An intriguing structural transition from the quasi‐planar form of B12 cluster upon the
interaction with lithium atoms is reported. High‐level computations show that the lowest …

To understand the effect of magnesium atom doping on boron clusters, here we report the
lowest-lying energy structures and electronic properties of neutral and monoanionic …

Binary boron-based compounds are expected to possess unique molecular architecture and
chemical bonding. Here, we explore how incorporation of a valence isoelectronic Al atom …
