1 SUPPORTING INFORMATION Molecular tailoring: a possible synthetic route to hexasilabenzene Zsolt Benedek, Tibor Szilvási and Tamás Veszprémi* Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE), Szent Gellért tér 4, 1521 Budapest, Hungary *Corresponding author. Tveszpremi@mail.bme.hu To confirm the reliability of the chosen B97-D functional and estimate the error bar, we have carried out a benchmark study on hydrogen substituted tetrapersila compounds (A3-A6). CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ, RI-B97-D/cc-pVTZ, B3LYP/cc-pVTZ and M06-2X/cc-pVTZ energies (E, in Hartree) were computed at RI-B97-D/6-31G* optimized geometries (Table S1). Since our main conclusions are drawn from the relative stability of optimized structures on a PES, Table S1 contains the relative energies ( E, in kj/mol) compared to A6, respectively, for all computed energy results. The relative difference compared to CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ results are also shown ( E) in Table S1 in kj/mol ( E= E CCSD(T) - E DFT ). As one can see in Table S1, E clearly indicates that the relative error is reasonable for RI- B97-D method (RMS = 10 kj/mol) similar to that of the most popular B3LYP and M06-2X DFT methods (RMS are 13 and 14 kj/mol, respectively). The error bar is estimated by that about ±15 kj/mol for this small molecules. For large molecules with real substituent, the error bar is obviously greater, which is expected to be about ±30 kj/mol. Since our main results are based on the elimination of unwanted minima protecting only one, error bars have negligible role in this study.

Relative energies are given ( E, in kj/mol) compared to A6, respectively, for all computed energy results. The relative difference compared to CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ results are also shown ( E, in kj/mol) ( E= E CCSD(T) - E DFT ).

One can easily compare the results obtained with solvation model or in gas phase (Table S5 and S6). The use of the solvation model causes only a ~10 kj/mol shift in the energies. Considering the several hundreds kj/mol energy gain during the reactions, the solvation effect has negligible role in this study and do not change any conclusions that we have drawn. Table S6.
