Aromatic character of deltahedral borane dianions revisited
The topological resonance energies (TREs) of delta-hedral borane dianions with up to 15 BH units were estimated by the use of the Kettle-Tomlinson bonding model. It was found that the TREs per BH unit are highly correlative with the NICS values calculated by a Schleyer et al.
