CB4Se5: a planar tetracoordinate carbon CB4 core stabilized by peripheral Se/Se2 bridges

Abstract

Replacing one of the peripheral Se with a Se2 bridge is an effective strategy to flatten the C4v CB4Se4 cluster. The global minimum of CB4Se5 contains one fan-shaped planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) CB4 core, possessing double 2π + 6σ aromaticity. The peripheral Se2 bridge is dexterous and crucial for the stability of CB4Se5.
