“…11 The final geometry optimizations of the obtained mono- and dications, in which Idip had been identified, also included the dispersion correction D3(BJ), suggested by Grimme, 25 because its use is justified by the possible interactions of the benzene rings. 26 On that basis, the formed monocationic 4-Idip- closo -1,2-P 2 B 4 Br 3 + ( 1a ), 1,6-Idip 2 - closo -1,2-P 2 B 4 Br 3 + ( 1b ) and 4-Idip- closo -1,2-As 2 B 4 Br 3 + ( 2 ) together with dicationic 3,5-Idip 2 - closo -1,2-P 2 B 4 Br 2 2+ ( 3 ) structural assemblies were subjected to structural studies using the above joint computational/experimental NMR approach (for the final products, see Fig. 1 and also Table 1).…”
