Saturn-like charge-transfer complexes Li4&B36, Li5&B36+, and Li6&B362+: exohedral metalloborospherenes with a perfect cage-like B364- core

Based on extensive first-principles theory calculations, we present the possibility of construction of the Saturn-like charge-transfer complexes Li-4&B-36 (2), Li-5&B-36(+) (3), and Li-6&B-36(2+) (4) all of which contain a perfect cage-like B-36(4-) (1) core composed of twelve interwoven boron double chains with a sigma + pi double delocalization bonding pattern, extending the B-n(q) borospherene family from n = 38-42 to n = 36 with the highest symmetry of T-h.
