Key Points

The aim is to investigate the structural properties of boron carbonyl complexes and their implications in nanomaterials.
Experimental observation of quasi-planar boron carbonyl complexes
Analysis of different symmetry types (C6v, C2v) in B36 structures
Comparison with coronene monocation C24H12+
Quasi-planar structure confirmed for B36 carbonyl complexes
Support for the feasibility of developing 2D borophene nanomaterials
Symmetry observations reveal novel characteristics of boron and carbon interactions

Implication

This research demonstrates the viability of 2D borophene nanomaterials using boron carbonyl complexes.

Abstract

The discovery of quasi-planar C6v B36 and C2v B36− (Piazza et al, Nat. Commun. 2014, 5, 3113) provided the first experimental evidence for the viability of 2D borophene nanomaterials. Joint...
