Abstract
The relative stability of classical versus nonclassical mono- and bis-boron analogs of the 2-norbornyl cation was investigated by ab initio and densit y functional methods. Nonclassical structures were preferred in carbon brid ged isoelectronic 1,2-diboranorbornyl anions having the following substitue nts on boron: H, CH3 and CN. The difluoro analog preferred the classical st ructure. The mono-boron analog preferred an open structure. (C) 2001 Elsevi er Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
