25. Second conformation reveals only that the proton-proton distances reported are "robust" even for a rather different chemical environment. It is unlikely that the Si H2 would be so close to a dangling bond. See S. Yamasaki, H. Okushi, A. Matsuda, K. Tanaka, and J. Isoya, Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 756 (1990).
