19. -, N ≤ 13, were first reported in footnote 28 of this paper. The close similarity of the structures and the isomeric order of the low-lying cluster isomers found in the current work and in ref 17 is encouraging and reassuring in light of the different pseudopotentials, basis sets, and exchange-correlation functional used in these two independent calculations.
