Each 2D superatom satisfies the super sextet rule of Ne via superatomic bonds and superatomic lone pairs, thus realizing electronic shell-closure, and eventually leading to local aromaticity.

Actually, the first quantum chemical calculation of a chemical system by Heitler and London in 1927 was based on this theory. In a typical valence-bond calculation, the input consists of strictly ...

Recently, in a paper published in National Science Review (NSR), researchers at Anhui University and University of Science & Technology of China proposed a 2D superatomic-molecule theory. It ...
