59. Also for the larger cyclic polysilanes we find that the MNDO method predicts that the a-type orbital, corresponding to ionization mainly from Si-H bonds, lies above the e-type orbitals, while with the other semiempirical methods and the ab inition calculations the orbital ordering is reversed (see Table 6).
