Lowcoordinated Silicon and Hypercoordinated Carbon: Structure and Stability of Silicon Analogs of Alkenes and Carbon Analogs of Silicates

Quantum chemical studies on lowcoordinated group 14-16 compounds have been performed. This thesis focuses particularly on silenes influenced by reverse Siδ-=Cδ+ bond polarization. Hypercoordinated carbon compounds are usually studied. The geometries from calculations with several common computationally inexpensive..
