Abstract
- Abstract: A symmetry analysis of the valence shell in the boron buckyball B80 shows a perfect match with the symmetry of the valence shell in C60. The cap atoms participate in the bonding by 30 orbitals which transform as the σ-bonds along the 6–6 edges. Far reaching consequences for chemical and physical properties of B80, which until now only exists in silico, are expected. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
