摘要

The unique electronic property induced diversified structure of boron (B) cluster has attracted much interest from experimentalists and theorists. B30-40 were reported to be planar fragments of triangular lattice with proper concentrations of vacancies recently. Here, we have performed high-throughput screening for possible B clusters through the first-principles calculations, including various shapes and distributions of vacancies. As a result, we have determined the structures of B-n clusters with n = 30-51 and found a stable planar cluster of B-49 with a double-hexagon vacancy. Considering the 8-electron rule and the electron delocalization, a concise model for the distribution of the 2c-2e and 3c-2e bonds has been proposed to explain the stability of B planar clusters, as well as the reported B cages.
