Four-center two-electron bond
text:
A 4-center 2-electron (4c–2e) bond is a type of chemical bond in which four atoms share two electrons in bonding, with a net bond order of 1⁄2. This type of bonding differs from the usual covalent bond, which involves two atoms sharing two electrons. Four-center two-electron bonding is postulated in certain cluster compounds. For instance, the borane B6H−7 anion, is a B6H2−6 octahedron with an additional proton attached to one of the triangular faces. As a result, the octahedron is distorted and
