The most stable form of a B cluster has a central hexagonal hole. Such an interesting finding has led to the possible synthesis of a 2D boron sheet by employing the B cluster as the building unit. Herein, a DFT study to investigate the reason for the central location of the hexagonal hole in the B cluster is presented. The results show that the B cluster with a central hexagonal hole is highly thermodynamically and kinetically stable. More importantly, such high stability is further understood through chemical bonding analysis.
B簇最稳定的形式有一个中心六边形孔。这一有趣的发现使得以B簇为构建单元合成二维硼片成为可能。在此,我们进行了一项密度泛函理论(DFT)研究,以探究B簇中六边形孔位于中心位置的原因。结果表明,具有中心六边形孔的B簇在热力学和动力学上都高度稳定。更重要的是,通过化学键分析能进一步理解这种高稳定性。
