✦ Synopsis

Using Si 2 O 2 rhombuses and Si 3 O 3 rings as building blocks, we have investigated the structures of medium-sized silicon oxide clusters. Total energies of a series of Si 8 O n and Si 12 O n clusters with different growth motifs have been studied using first-principles calculations. Our studies discover a new motif for medium-sized silicon oxide clusters in a form of wheel-like structure composed of Si 3 O 3 rings.

Until now it has been a tremendous and ongoing challenge to initiate a variety of chemical reactions at well-defined positions even of the same and structurally well-defined nanoobject, especially if significant property changes or novel functionalities are intended. [1] This aim has now been achiev
