摘要
Boron is an interesting element with unusual polymorphism.B_3 is the smallest cluster in the series of pure boron clusters,which plays an important role for maintaining the 3c-2e bonds in planar and fullerene structure.Recently studies on B_3 compounds all show great stability with 2πaromaticity[1-3].Here,we report a study of infrared photodissociation spectroscopy for the B_3(CO)n~+(n=3~6)clusters in the carbonyl stretching frequency region.The clusters were generated via a laser vaporization ion source in a pulse molecule beam in gas phase;and Density functional theory was carried out in the comparison between the simulated results and the experimental spectra.The B_3(CO)_3~+has a D_(3h)symmetry with a Huckelπaromatic B_3 ring~([1]),whereas the B_3(CO)_4~+is characterized to have a D_(2d)structure with a linear Boron skeleton.The B_3(CO)_5~+is also determined to have a chain Boron framework with C_(2v)symmetry.The B_3(CO)_6~+takes B_3(CO)_5~+as the core with a tagging carbonyl ligand.We found,as the increase of the ligand number around the B_3 unit,repulsion energies between ligands rise.And thus,the boron frameworks are more like to form chain structures rather than the ring-like ones.The result provides a fundamental understanding of ligand contributions on the B_3 structure in the boron clusters.
