A Disk-Aromatic Bowl Cluster B30: Toward Formation of Boron Buckyballs

The B30 boron cluster has a bowl rather than a double-ring or a triple-ring tubular structure. This bowl isomer exhibits disk-aromaticity similar to that found for B20(2-) and B19(-) clusters. We confirmed that the concept of disk-aromaticity can be applied to both planar and non-planar systems.
