The electronic structure and properties of Ni(B3N3HnF2-n) (CO)2 (n = 0-2) complexes have been explored using hybrid density functional B3LYP theory. Calculations indicate B-fluorinated isomers are more stable, less polarizable, and harder than N-fluorinated isomers. The aromatic nature of the borazyne rings have been analyzed by nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS). The atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis indicates that Ni-Ccarbonyl bonds distance is well correlated with the electron density of critical point (ρrcp) in all speciesDownloads
