Abstract
The B2H5+ ion has been studied using theab initio SCF method employing a basis set of Gaussian orbitals and various semi-empirical methods. The most stable structure appears to be a planar structure with two vacantp orbitals rather than a triply bridged structure suggested by analogy with acetylene with which it is isoelectronic. The semi-empirical results reinforce earlier conclusions that inclusion of charges from neighbouring atoms in iterative Extended Huckel methods is necessary to satisfactorily treat ionic molecules.
