Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
For a number of different structures and states of B, B N, BN, and N, optimum geometries and harmonic spectra were obtained at the HF/6-31G* level. The relative stability of the isomers was determined using full fourth-order Møller-Plesset theory, both with and without spin projection, as well as coupled cluster methods. Estimates for the dissociation energies are based on scaled CCD + ST(CCD) binding energies. Koopmans' vertical ionization potentials and Mulliken charge distributions, both at the UHF/6-31G* level, are quoted for the most stable isomers. B is found to be an equilateral triangle in its A′ \ground state. BN has a symmetric linear arrangement in its Σ ground state with an extremely low bending frequency (73 cm ), and an unusually low vertical ionization potential (6.75 eV). Its asymmetric stretching (2021 cm) is found to be extremely intense (8782 km mol). BN has four rather closely spaced states, of which an isosceles triangle is the absolute minimum ( A state). However, at high temperatures, an asymmetric linear arrangement (Π state) is found to have equal importance, whereas a Σ state plays a role there too. The same theoretical methods correctly predict for N a symmetric linear arrangement in the Π ground state; the spectroscopic constants are found to be in reasonable agreement with experiment. Estimated dissociation energies (expected accuracy ± 4 kcal mol) are: B 197.9, BN 265.0, BN 224.9, N 210.1 kcal mol. From a statistical thermodynamical analysis, B is stable against dissociation to B and B up to very high temperatures, BN is extraordinarily stable, whereas BN and N dissociate spontaneously to B + N and N + N at all temperatures. From these results, the presence of BN and B, the high abundance of BN, as well as the absence of BN and N in laser mass spectra of boron nitride is explained. © 1989 American Institute of Physics.
