Self‐consistent‐field‐Xα‐scattered wave calculations on clusters Si 2 O 7 6− and H 6 Si 2 O 7 modeling silica have been performed. Incorporation of Si 3 d orbitals produces significant changes in the overall valence structure. In addition to σ Si — O bonds, there exists a bonding π character due to the participation of O 2 p and Si 3 d . Hydrogen terminators do not seem to correct edge effects for these π states.
