Abstract
Generic structural motif: Small to medium-sized, energetically low-lying silicon clusters Si<sub>n</sub> (11 < n < 30) are generally prolate in shape. Starting from Si<sub>16</sub>, DFT calculations show that silicon clusters are most likely built on a generic structural motif consisting of an Si<sub>6</sub> sixfold puckered ring subunit (dark green) and a magic-number cluster such as the Si<sub>6</sub> tetragonal bipyramid (light green), rather than on the Si<sub>9</sub> tricapped trigonal prism (pink). © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
