In this study, a detailed topological charge density analysis based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) developed by Bader and co-workers, has been accomplished (using the B3LYP method) on the CB62– anion and three planar isomers of the C3B4 species, which had been first proposed by Exner and Schleyer as examples of molecules containing hexacoordinate carbon atoms. The analysis uncovers the strong (covalent) interactions of boron atoms as well as the "nondirectional" interaction of central carbon atom with those peripheral atoms. On the other hand, instabilities have been found in the topological networks of (B6C)2– and B4C3(para) species. A detailed investigation of these instabilities demonstrates that the topology of charge density has a floppy nature near the equilibrium geometries of the species under study. Thus, these species seems to be best described as complexes of a relatively concrete ring containing boron or carbon atoms and a central carbon atom that is confined in the plane of the molecule, but with nondirectional interactions with the surrounding atoms.Key words: hypervalency, hexacoordinate carbon, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, charge density analysis, ab initio methods.

The present investigation demonstrates the hydroboration of 1,2-nonadiene, phenylpropadiene, 3-phenyl-1,2-butadiene, 4,5-nonadiene, and tetramethylallene with disiamylborane. All the allenes except tetramethylallene underwent 100% conversion. Examination of the products indicated preferential electrophilic attack of boron on the least substituted terminal carbon atom in the case of 1,2-nonadiene, phenylpropadiene, 3-phenyl-1,2-butadiene, and on the central carbon atom in 4,5-nonadiene. In tetramethylallene boron, attack was exclusively on the central carbon atom. These results have been explained in terms of steric effects on a four-centered transition state.
