We revisited the aromaticity of silicon tetramer Si-4, Si-4(2+) and isoelectronic four-membered rings without and with a planar tetracoordinate carbon dopant (Si4C2+). Electron localizability indicators and magnetic ring currents were used to probe bonding patterns. Comparison with Al-4(2), Si2Al2, Al4C2 and Si2Al2C was performed. The 14 (Si-4(2+)), 16 (Si-4) and 18 (Si4C2+) valence electrons systems exhibit diatropic ring current, but this is determined by sigma electrons. Electrons in p orbitals do not significantly take part in the diatropic magnetic response which determines aromaticity. These clusters can thus be regarded as sigma-aromatic species and do not follow the classical Huckel rule. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
