## Abstract

The present study of small molecules containing silicon has been motivated by (a) the considerable interest being shown currently in the kinetics and reactivity of such molecules, and (b) the biotechnological potential of silicon-derivate surfaces as substrates in the adsorption of, for instance, amino acids and proteins. Therefore, we have studied by (i) a semi-empirical approach and (ii) an ab initio procedure employing low-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, the molecular correlation energies of some neutral closed and open shell silicon-containing molecules in the series SiXnYm. Procedure (i) is shown to have particular merit for the correlation of the ionic members studied in the above series, while the ab initio procedures employed come into their own for neutral species.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
