What is it about?

The paper describes how the structure of a small silicon-containing molecule is derived in the gas phase instead of in the solid state. The molecule forms a small polydedron with Si atoms a the vertices bridge by O atoms.

Why is it important?

The molecule was unusually large to have its accurate structure determined in the gas phase.
