Abstract

The induced magnetic field of B40 was dissected into contributions from π, σ and core electrons revealing the origins for the formation of the strong long range shielding response characterizing the spherical aromatic nature of the cavernous D2d structure. Our analysis showed the complementary role of π and σ orbitals for the formation of the global shielding cone, with weak π contributions at a long range and strong σ contributions inside the cage, supporting the molecule as double aromatic with weak π and strong σ delocalization. Similar local variations of both π and σ magnetic responses were identified portraying peripheral diatropic and local paratropic currents. The weak π aromaticity is explained on the basis of symmetry rules pertaining to its electronic structure which forbid small gap paratropic rotational excitations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
