32. As in Ref. 16, this coverage was determined by trial and error, putting an H atom in some possible site and attempting to pack additional atoms as tightly as possible around this site without breaking the binding rules. The procedure was then repeated beginning at other sites until a representative sample of possible configurations was explored. The highest coverage obtained is the one illustrated in VI. Rule (5), derived for icosahedral clusters, does not really apply here since relaxing it does not lead to higher coverage.
