| Abstract: | Solely on the basis of Raman spectra and quantum chemical calculations, the previously unknown cluster anion Si94− (structure shown) was characterized and its structure determined. The anion is formed as a component of solid phases by the thermal decomposition of alkali metal monosilicides. |
