Abstract
Global minima (CBe4- and NBe4-) with planar tetracoordinate carbon and nitrogen atoms are stabilized by multicentric bonds. Their unusual anti-aromaticity is due to the strong localized Be-Be bonds preventing the full delocalization of the electrons in the CBe4/NBe4 skeleton. These binary mono-anions are expected to be experimentally realized in the gas phase.
