14. The Schleyer group recognized the potential of the IGLO method to distinguish between structural alternatives for a variety of polyboranes and carboranes, provided that ab initio optimized structures are employed as input for the IGLO calculations. They called this technique the ab initio/IGLO/NMR method. See: Bühl, M.; Schleyer, P. v. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 477-491.
15. The ab initio/IGLO/NMR method has since been applied to a variety of other systems. See footnote 17 in: Diaz, M.; Jaballas, J.; Tran, D.; Lee, H.; Arias, J.; Onak, T. Inorg. Chem. 1996, 35, 4536-4540.
