Abstract
Noble gases (Ngs) are recognized as the least reactive elements due to their fully filled valence electronic configuration. Their reluctance to engage in chemical bond formation necessitates extreme conditions such as low temperatures, high pressures, and reagents with high reactivity. In this Perspective, we discuss our endeavours in the theoretical prediction of viable Ng complexes, emphasizing the pursuit of synthesizing them under nearly ambient conditions. Our research encompasses various bonding categories of Ng complexes and our primary aim is to comprehend the bonding mechanisms within these complexes, utilizing state-of-the-art theoretical tools such as natural bond orbital, energy decomposition, and electron density analyses. These complex types manifest distinct bonding scenarios. In the non-insertion type, the donor-acceptor interaction strength hinges on the polarizing ability of the binding atom, drawing the electron density of the Ng towards itself. In certain instances, especially with heavier Ng elements, this interaction reaches a magnitude where it can be considered a covalent bond. Conversely, in most insertion cases, the Ng prefers to share electrons to form a covalent bond on one side while interacting electrostatically on the other side. In rare cases, both bonds may be portrayed as electron-shared covalent bonds. Furthermore, a host cage serves as an excellent platform to explore the limits of achieving Ng-Ng bonds (even for helium), under high pressure.

Abstract
The interaction of ammonia with Ben (n < 1-10) clusters has been investigated by density functional theory and ab initio calculations. The main conclusion is that, regardless of the size of the Be cluster, neither the structure of ammonia nor that of the Be clusters are preserved due to a systematic dissociation of its NH bonds and a spontaneous H-shift toward the available Be atoms. This H migration not only leads to rather stable BeH bonds, but dramatically enhances the strength of the BeN bonds as well. Accordingly, the maximum stability is found for the interaction with the beryllium trimer, leading to a complex with three NBe and three BeH bonds. Another maximum in stability, although lower than that reached for n = 3, is found for the Be heptamer, since from n = 6, a new NBe bond is formed, so that complexes from n = 6 to n = 10 are characterized by the formation of a NBe4 moiety, whose stability reaches a maximum at n = 7. The bonding characteristics of the different species formed are analyzed by means of AIM, NBO, ELF and AdNDP approaches.

Abstract
Boron forms a rich variety of low-dimensional nanosystems, including the newly discovered helix Be6 B10 2- (1) and Be6 B11 - (2) clusters. We report herein on the elucidation of chemical bonding in clusters 1/2, using the modern quantum chemistry tools of canonical molecular orbital analyses and adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP). It is shown that clusters 1/2 contain a chiral helix Be2 B10 Be2 or Be2 B11 Be2 skeleton with a total of 11 and 12 segments, respectively, which effectively curve into "helical pseudo rings" and chemically consist of two "quasicircles" as defined by their anchoring Be centers. The helix skeleton is connected via Lewis-type B-B and Be-B-Be σ bonds, being further stabilized by island π/σ bonds and a loose π bond at the junction. The Be6 component in 1/2 assumes a distorted prism shape only physically, and it is fragmented into four parts: two terminal Be2 dimers and two isolated Be centers. A Be2 dimer at the far end manages to bend over and cap a quasicircle from one side of B plane. Consequently, each quasicircle of a helical pseudo ring is capped from opposite sides by two Be2 /Be units, facilitating intramolecular charge-transfers of 5 electrons from Be to B. Overall, the folding of B helix involves as many as 10 electrons. The enormous electrostatics offers the ultimate driving forces for B helix formation.

Abstract
Herein, using universal structure predictor: evolutionary xtallography (USPEX) method, followed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we performed global searches for the most stable structures of (M©B16)Q (M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni; Q = 0, -1) clusters. It was found that the obtained ground-state structures of (M©B16)Q clusters exhibited a distinct structural evolution as M changed from V to Ni: from bowl-shaped, to boat-shaped, to an M-centered tubular structure named wheel-shaped, to drum-shaped (the metal atom was adsorbed on top of the cross section of the B16 species). Our analysis shows that hyper-coordination and the size of the metal atom are two competing factors determining the relative stability and topological properties of the (M©B16)0/-1 clusters, resulting in unprecedented structures for Sc, Ti, and Ni-doped clusters. The calculated binding energies for these new configurations are even larger than those of the previously synthesized B16-1, (Mn©B16)-1, and (Co©B16)-1 clusters, indicating their very good stability and possible experimental synthesis. A net charge transfer from the metal atom to the boron moiety occurs for all clusters, indicating that electrostatic interactions play an important role in the stability of these materials. Finally, the Sc©M16 and Ti©B16 clusters exhibit not only excellent thermal stability but also large first hyper-polarizability. Hence, they are expected to be potential innovative candidates for excellent electro-optical materials.

Abstract
Noble gases (Ngs) are the least reactive elements in the periodic table towards chemical bond formation when compared with other elements because of their completely filled valence electronic configuration. Very often, extreme conditions like low temperatures, high pressures and very reactive reagents are required for them to form meaningful chemical bonds with other elements. In this personal account, we summarize our works to date on Ng complexes where we attempted to theoretically predict viable Ng complexes having strong bonding to synthesize them under close to ambient conditions. Our works cover three different types of Ng complexes, viz., non-insertion of NgXY type, insertion of XNgY type and Ng encapsulated cage complexes where X and Y can represent any atom or group of atoms. While the first category of Ng complexes can be thermochemically stable at a certain temperature depending on the strength of the Ng-X bond, the latter two categories are kinetically stable, and therefore, their viability and the corresponding conditions depend on the size of the activation barrier associated with the release of Ng atom(s). Our major focus was devoted to understand the bonding situation in these complexes by employing the available state-of-the-art theoretic tools like natural bond orbital, electron density, and energy decomposition analyses in combination with the natural orbital for chemical valence theory. Intriguingly, these three types of complexes represent three different types of bonding scenarios. In NgXY, the strength of the donor-acceptor Ng→XY interaction depends on the polarizing power of binding the X center to draw the rather rigid electron density of Ng towards itself, and sometimes involvement of such orbitals becomes large enough, particularly for heavier Ng elements, to consider them as covalent bonds. On the other hand, in most of the XNgY cases, Ng forms an electron-shared covalent bond with X while interacting electrostatically with Y representing itself as [XNg]+Y-. Nevertheless, in some of the rare cases like NCNgNSi, both the C-Ng and Ng-N bonds can be represented as electron-shared covalent bonds. On the other hand, a cage host is an excellent moiety to examine the limits that can be pushed to attain bonding between two Ng atoms (even for He) at high pressure. The confinement effect by a small cage-like B12N12 can even induce some covalent interaction within two He atoms in the He2@B12N12 complex.

Abstract
Inorganic benzene-like clusters with a planar hexagonal ring are of interest in chemistry, as are new types of aromaticity, multifold aromaticity, and in particular δ aromaticity beyond carbon-based organic systems. Here we report on a computational study of chemical bonding in a binary Os3N3 + D 3h (7A2″) cluster. This transition metal nitride cluster assumes a perfectly planar, heteroatomic, hexagonal geometry. An array of quantum chemistry tools is exploited to elucidate the electronic, structural, and bonding properties of D 3h Os3N3 + cluster, which include canonical molecular orbitals, adaptive natural density partitioning, natural bond orbital analysis, orbital composition calculations, and nucleus-independent chemical shifts. The computational data collectively support the bonding picture of 2-fold π/δ aromaticity: 6π electrons delocalized over all Os/N centers versus an Os-based 4δ framework in the unique δ2δ*1δ*1 configuration. The π sextet renders this heteroatomic cluster an inorganic analog of benzene. Transition metal-based inorganic benzenes are unknown in the literature, to our knowledge. The triplet 4δ electron-counting is a rare case of d-orbital aromaticity and δ-aromaticity, following the reversed 4n Hückel rule for aromaticity in a triplet system. This bonding picture is concrete, differing fundamentally from a recent study on the relevant system.

Abstract
We investigated the geometry, stability, and aromaticity of a series of singly and doubly titanium-doped boron clusters. Ti dopants bring in planar cyclic form with a nine-membered boron ring B9- and B93- and C and N isoelectronic derivatives where perfectly planar B6N3, B6CN2, B6C2N, and B6C3 heterorings are coordinated with one and two Ti atoms. The presence of both C and N atoms induces bimetallic heterocycles while Ti2B9q clusters are not stable in cyclic form. Doubly Ti doped clusters have the shape of a teetotum toy. High thermodynamic stability of these bimetallic boron heterocycles, that are global equilibrium structures of corresponding systems, can be understood as the result of a stabilizing overlap between bonding and antibonding MOs of Ti2 with different eigenstates of B6C xN y cycles. Both C and N elements, which are more electronegative than the B atom, also enjoy the formation of planar nine-membered ring via classical 2c-2e bonding, rather than occupancy of high coordination position. A double aromaticity feature which comprises both σ and π aromaticity is supported by magnetic responses of electron density within a planar cycle. Such an aromatic character is also in line with the classical electron count for both sets of delocalized σ and π electron systems.

Abstract
Shortly after the discovery of all-boron fullerenes D2d B40-/0 (borospherenes), the first axially chiral borospherenes C3/C2 B39- were characterized in experiments in 2015. Based on extensive global minimum searches and first-principles theory calculations, we present herein two new axially chiral members to the borospherene family: the aromatic cage-like C2 B34(1) and C2 B35+(2). Both B34(1) and B35+(2) feature one B21 boron triple chain on the waist and two equivalent heptagons and hexagons on the cage surface, with the latter being obtained by the addition of B+ into the former at the tetracoordinate defect site. Detailed bonding analyses show that they follow the universal bonding pattern of σ + π double delocalization, with 11 delocalized π bonds over a σ skeleton. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations show that these borospherenes are kinetically stable below 1000 K and start to fluctuate at 1200 K and 1100 K, respectively. The IR, Raman, and UV-vis spectra of 1 and 2 are computationally simulated to facilitate their experimental characterization.

Abstract
An intriguing structural transition from the quasi-planar form of B12 cluster upon the interaction with lithium atoms is reported. High-level computations show that the lowest energy structures of LiB12 , Li2 B12 , and Li3 B12 have quasi-planar (Cs ), tubular (D6d ), and cage-like (Cs ) geometries, respectively. The energetic cost of distorting the B12 quasi-planar fragment is overcompensated by an enhanced electrostatic interaction between the Li cations and the tubular or cage-like B12 fragments, which is the main reason of such drastic structural changes, resulting in the smallest tubular (Li2 B12 ) and cage-like (Li3 B12 ) boron structures reported to date.
