Persistent Planar Tetracoordinate Carbon in Global Minima Structures of Silicon-Carbon Clusters

Persistent Planar Tetracoordinate Carbon in Global Minima Structures of Silicon-Carbon Clusters

Recently, we reported a series of global minima whose structures consist of carbon rings decorated with heavier group 14 elements. Interestingly, these structures feature planar tetracoordinate carbons (ptCs) and result from the replacement of five or six protons (H<sup>+</sup>) from the...
