Abstract

The free electron molecular orbital network model is applied to a series of regular three-dimensional polyhedral networks. The problem of accounting for the separation of σ- and π-systems on this model is discussed and the model is applied to a number of boron based polyhedral molecules. Some success is achieved in accounting for the shapes and stabilities of the known molecules and ions.
