Abstract: Density functional theory calculations at the level of B3LYP/6-311+G(df,p) and wB97XD/6-311+G(df,p) predict stability of the BeO analogues of annulated cyclooctatetraene and cyclodecapentaene, BenOnHn (n = 8, 10), which uniquely feature the presence of multiple hypervalent diagonal O∙∙∙O interactions within the four-membered rings.

Keywords: beryllium oxide, BeO-based nanostructures, annulated cyclooctatetraene derivatives, hypervalent interaction, hyper- bonding, hypercoordination, oxygen–oxygen interactions, non-classical systems, planar tetracoordinated oxygen, inorganic building block.
