Cover Feature: Tetravalent Oxygen and Sulphur Centres Mediated by Carborane Superacid: Theoretical Analysis (ChemPhysChem 19/2019)

The Cover Feature shows H5O2+ and H4O2+ ions (top); the central H‐atom in H5O2+ interacts strongly with both O‐atoms thus it partly possesses character of divalent centre; the O‐centre in H4O2+ diction is tetravalent without any doubt. For the CHB11F11‐⋅⋅⋅H+⋅⋅⋅[O(CH3)3]+ complex (bottom) the tetrava...

Description
Summary:The Cover Feature shows H5O2+ and H4O2+ ions (top); the central H‐atom in H5O2+ interacts strongly with both O‐atoms thus it partly possesses character of divalent centre; the O‐centre in H4O2+ diction is tetravalent without any doubt. For the CHB11F11‐⋅⋅⋅H+⋅⋅⋅[O(CH3)3]+ complex (bottom) the tetravalency of oxygen is mediated by the carborane superacid unit; the central H‐atom may be also considered here as divalent.
