Abstract
- We report a σ + π double aromatic CB<subscript>5</subscript>S<subscript>5</subscript><superscript>+</superscript> cluster, the first global minimum unusually having a planar hypercoordinate carbon inside a boron wheel. Five peripheral sulfur atoms stabilize the carbon-centered boron wheel by weakening the electron deficiency of the boron atoms through strong S → B π back-bonding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
