Ab initio coupled cluster calculations has identified double Möbius aromaticity in planar neutral four-membered D2h-symmetric Rh2B2 and single Möbius three-membered C2V-symmetric Rh2B- rings. The aromaticity of these rings was verified by different aromaticity indices. This work highlights the possibility of twisted orbital topology in planar rings.
