Heteroborospherene clusters Nin ∈ B40 (n = 1–4) and heteroborophene monolayers Ni2 ∈ B14 with planar heptacoordinate transition-metal centers in η7-B7 heptagons
Abstract With inspirations from recent discoveries of the cage-like borospherene B40 and perfectly planar Co ∈ B18 − and based on extensive global minimum searches and first-principles theory calculations, we present herein the possibility of the novel planar Ni ∈ B18 (1), cage-like heteroborosphere...
