Abstract
A two-step substitution reaction: CpZnZnCp ( D 5 h ) → - 2 Cp - + 2 Be 3 2 - [ Be 3 ZnZnBe 3 ] 2 - ( D 3 h ) → - 2 Zn + + 2 Be + [ Be 3 BeBeBe 3 ] 2 - ( D 3 h ) is studied at the B3LYP/6-311+G[d] level of theory. The resulting all-beryllium sandwich-like complex, Be 8 2 - is highly stable and aromatic. The ring-Be atoms show different reactivity towards hard and soft electro (nucleo) philes than the bond-Be atoms.
