Abstract. The results of optimization of the atomic and electronic structure of silicon clusters with a structure similar to carbon fullerenes are presented. The basic quantum-energy parameters characterizing the electronic properties of the investigated nano-forms are determined. To investigate the stability of silicone fullerenes the binding energy of the hydrogenated and the encapsulated metal atoms nanostructures is determined.

Keywords: silicon, nanoparticles, fullerenes, NDDO PM3.
