Abstract

Ab initio molecular orbital theory and density functional theory have been applied to investigate B7Cl- cluster. It is found that almost an inversion in stability occurs upon addition of one Cl to B7- cluster. Two low-lying planar(Cs,2A') structures are the lower energy minima, and the quasi-planar geometry (Cs, 2A") exhibit the next stability. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis show that the B7- unit in B7Cl- is different from the pure B7-, providing a viable possibility to flattening the distorted pentagonal bipyramid B7Cl7 structure by a successive stripping of Cl.
