The structural landscape in 14-vertex clusters of silicon, M@Si14: when two bonding paradigms collide

The structural chemistry of the title clusters has been the source of controversy in the computational literature because the identity of the most stable structure appears to be pathologically dependent on the chosen theoretical model. The candidate structures include a D3h-symmetric 'fullerene...
