DOI: 10.1021/jacs.9b11181
Abstract: Unsaturated silicon clusters (siliconoids) are short-lived intermediates during the transition from molecules to the elemental bulk; stable representatives reiterate surface features of silicon materials. The incorporation of suitable heteroatoms into the cluster scaffold of stable… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/inorganics6040107
Abstract: Molecular silicon clusters with unsubstituted silicon vertices (siliconoids) have received attention as unsaturated silicon clusters and potential intermediates in the gas-phase deposition of elemental silicon. Investigation of behaviors of the siliconoids could contribute to the… read more here.
