H©Be <sub>4</sub> S <sub>4</sub> <sup>−</sup> : a superhalogen planar tetracoordinate hydrogen cluster
Planar tetracoordinate hydrogen atom (ptH) is rare, with only a few examples theoretically proposed to date. Herein, we report a planar tetracoordinate hydrogen atom (ptH) as the global minimum H©Be<sub>4</sub>S<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> cluster which possesses dynamic stability. The ptH geometry is stabilized by 5c-2e multicentre bonding, and the cluster can be considered a "superhalogen" with high vertical detachment energy.
