The previous posts have seen how a molecule containing a hypervalent carbon atom can be designed by making a series of logical chemical connections. Another logical step is to investigate whether the adjacent atoms in the periodic table may exhibit similar effects (C2+<\/sup> \u2261 B+<\/sup> \u2261 N3+<\/sup> \u2261 Be \u2261 O4+<\/sup>). So here are reported some results (B3LYP\/6-311G(d,p) ) for boron, beryllium and nitrogen, for the general tetramethyl substituted system shown below<\/p>\n

The systems H, C and B are stable in the sense that the C4v<\/sub>-symmetric calculated geometry has only positive calculated force constants (Be has a small negative frequency). All show bond critical points in the \u00a0X-C region (although these bonds are clearly \u00a0bent) and X-H region, and significant integrations for the X-C disynaptic basins in the \u00a0ELF analysis. The boron analogue is also of interest as being a neutral rather than a charged molecule, and therefore may be a worthy target for synthetic effort.<\/p>\n\n<\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
