“…This can also be visulaized in its uniform electron density distribution via MEP plot. It was found that the both the B 15 GeN 16 and B 15 SiN 16 nanocages showcase a local structural deformation around the Ge and Si sites, which is in agreement with the results obtained in previously published experimental and theoretical studies [55][56][57][58][59][60]. The newly formed Ge-N and Si-N bonds are about 1.893 Å and 1.774 Å in vacuum environment and 1.900 Å and 1.778 Å in solvent environment as the Ge and Si atoms are projected out of the nanocage surfaces [61].…”
