Transition-Metal-Centered Nine-Membered Boron Rings: MⓒB 9 and MⓒB 9 – (M = Rh, Ir)

We report the observation of two transition-metal-centered nine-atom boron rings, Rh©B9 - and Ir©B9-. These two doped-boron clusters are produced in a laser-vaporization supersonic molecular beam and characterized by photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Large HOMO-LUMO gaps are obs...
