We performed first‐principles calculations to study the structure and stability of Si70 cluster. The results from the density functional theory calculation with the Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr and B3LYP exchange‐correlation functionals suggest that a diamond‐like Si70 isomer is the most stable structure, in contrast to endohedral fullerenes of Si70. On the other hand, an endohedral fullerene of Si16@Si54 was found to be slightly lower in energy than the diamond‐like Si70 if the Predew–Burke–Ernzerhof functional is used. Our calculation results suggest that around n = 70, the endohedral fullerene and diamond‐like isomer are expected to be competitive. The calculated IR vibration spectra, ionization potential, and inverse mobilities were also calculated and discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2011
