Planar hexacoordination (ph) is only rarely reported in the literature. So far, only a few neutral and cationic molecules possessing phE (E = C, Si, B, Al, Ga) in the most stable isomer are predicted theoretically. Present electronic structure calculations report hitherto unknown anionic planar hexcoordinate beryllium and magnesium, phBe/Mg, as the most stable isomer. Global minimum searches show that the lowest energy structure of BeC6M3− (M = Al, Ga) and MgC6M3− (M = Ga, In, Tl) is the D3h symmetric phBe/Mg clusters, where beryllium/magnesium is covalently bonded with six carbon centers and M is located in a bridging position between two carbon centers. These global minimum phBe/Mg clusters are highly kinetically stable against isomerization, facilitating the experimental confirmation by photoelectron spectroscopy. Noteworthy is the fact that the phBe/Mg center is linked with carbon centers through three 7c–2e delocalized σ bonds and three 7c–2e π bonds, making the cluster double aromatic (σ + π) in nature. The bonding between the Be/Mg and outer ring moiety can be best expressed as an electron-sharing σ-bond between the s orbital of Be+/Mg+ and C6M32− followed by three dative interactions involving empty pπ and two in-plane p orbitals of Be/Mg. Furthermore, Lewis basic M centers of the title clusters can be passivated through the complexation with bulky Lewis acid, 9-boratriptycene, lowering the overall reactivity of the cluster, which can eventually open up the possibility of their large-scale syntheses.
