24. The (Formula presented) binding energy in (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) is not available experimentally. For these structures, we used a method based on Hartree-Fock called G2 which is an option in the G94 commercial simulation package. The method is described and evaluated in the following reference: L. Curtiss, K. Raghavachari, J. A. Pople, Chem. Phys. 98, 1293 (1993).
25. The HOMO and LUMO eigenlevels stand for the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital.

27. The binding energy is positive for systems that are bound, e.g., the cluster with an Si-H bond is bound relative to a cluster with an H in free space far from the (Formula presented) See Ref. 18 for more details. Note that we have also taken care to include zero point energies which we derive from our cluster calculations and Ref. 18.
