Abstract

Tubular boron clusters represent a class of extremely unusual geometries that can be regarded as a key indicator for the 2D-to-3D boron structural evolution as well as the embryos for boron nanotubes. While a good number of pure boron or metal-doped boron tubular clusters have been reported so far, most of them are two-ring tubular structures, and their higher-ring analogues are very scarce. We report herein the first example of a four-ring tubular boron motif in the cagelike global minimum of Be
