80. 5- is negative and as large as -7.12 eV, indicating an unstable system. Nevertheless, such a redox state can be computed despite its tendency to lose an electron because of the finite nature of the basis set, which cannot represent the continuum electron and consequently confines electrons in a metastable state.
81. Calculations performed enclosing the H-cluster in a positively charged spherical cage, which produces a shift of all of the occupied orbital energies to negative values, without significantly affecting the molecular geometry and the electron distribution (data not shown).

85. COSMO has been shown to give accurate results when the quantum cluster charge and polarity is not too high. Again, we have to highlight that the large negative charge of the compounds investigated here is spread over a large volume due to the size of the molecule. In fact, the apparent surface charge (ASC) generated for each tessera of the cavity surface is even smaller than that generated for less-charged smaller anions (data not shown).

88. 2- the coordination geometry of the Fed atom is more similar to the X-ray structure.

97. As discussed in Computational Details, BS states are not pure spin states. Correspondingly, the energy of a BS state does not correspond to the energy of the ground state of the molecule. However, the groundstate energy can be obtained by using spin-projection techniques.
98. 3- also at lower energies, probably due to its partial reduction.
99. The near degeneracy of highest occupied and lowest unoccupied orbitals may suggest that the triple state (S = 1) could be more stable than the singlet one (S = 0). However, the calculated energy of the triplet state in its optimum geometry is larger than that of the singlet.
