17. The trend in out-of-plane displacements in Table 1 is slightly out of line with the other trends because the uniquely short (hyperconjugared) Si-C bond in the hexabromo compound contracts the basal plane. See ref. 4.

19. Comparison of experimental versus calculated bond lengths in cations at the 3-21G level reveals a systematic overestimate of the calculated value, perhaps due to an underestimation of hyperconjugation.
