Caption: Figure 5.

Potential energy surface of the reaction of the silylidyne radical (SiH) with diacetylene (C₄H₂) in the crossed molecular beam experiments leading to the 1-ethynyl-3-silacyclopropenylidene molecule (c-SiC₄H₂) plus atomic hydrogen. Relative energies calculated at the CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVQZ-f12//ωB97XD/6-311G(d,p) + ZPE(ωB97XD/6-311G(d,p)) level are given in units of kJ mol⁻¹. The optimized cartesian coordinates for all structures are given in the Appendix (Table 1).
