It has recently been discovered that all chemical clusters are dichotomous. Each cluster can be expressed as K_=DzCy where z+y=n, the total number of skeletal elements. The Dz component represents closo boranes of the cluster. The well- known closo boranes are not many. Those normally cited are B4H42-, B5H52-, B6H62-, B7H72-, B8H82-, B9H92-, B10H102-, B11H112- and B12H122-. It has been discovered that they follow the series given by S= 4n+2 where n represents the number of skeletal elements in the cluster formula. Also, the corresponding cluster valence electrons are given by VE=4n+2. On the…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
It has recently been discovered that all chemical clusters are dichotomous. Each cluster can be expressed as K_=DzCy where z+y=n, the total number of skeletal elements. The Dz component represents closo boranes of the cluster. The well- known closo boranes are not many. Those normally cited are B4H42-, B5H52-, B6H62-, B7H72-, B8H82-, B9H92-, B10H102-, B11H112- and B12H122-. It has been discovered that they follow the series given by S= 4n+2 where n represents the number of skeletal elements in the cluster formula. Also, the corresponding cluster valence electrons are given by VE=4n+2. On the other hand, the transition metal cluster analogues which follow the same series S=4n+2 do have the corresponding cluster analogue valence electrons given by VE=14n+2. The closo boranes and their transition metal cluster counterpart are interlinked by ±10n. The Dz elements obey the 14n series while the corresponding Cy elements obey the 12n capping series. From the analysis of a wide range of chemical clusters, it appears that the Dz elements act as a nucleus around which the Cy elements superimpose a capping envelope.
Autorenporträt
Enos Masheija Rwantale Kiremire graduated with BSc(Hons) degree majoring in Chemistry from, University of East Africa, Makerere University College, Uganda in 1970. He had the opportunity to be taught briefly by an inspiring notable visiting chemist, Prof. C.A. Coulson. He later did a PhD, graduating in 1977 March at the University of New Brunswick.
