Abstract
The structural connections between the compounds of boron and carbon are extended using the mno rule beyond the borane-carbocation continuum, the lithium boride-polycarbyne analogy, and the magnesium boride (MgB2)-graphite equivalence to β-rhombohedral boron and fullerenes. The structural similarity of the pentagonal pyramidal C6H62+ and MgB4 is established. An interesting electronic structural relationship between the B84 fragment of the β-rhombohedral boron and the fulleride anion, C6012-, is derived by replacing the 12 pentagonal pyramidal B64- units by isoelectronic C5- units and removing the central B12 from the electron-deficient B84 unit. This relationship is well supported by the experimental realization of C60M12 (M = Li, K) and C48N12.
