Abstract

Metal cluster compounds are composed of large macromolecules, which consist of a metal core (cluster) containing a certain number (n=6–560) of metal atoms, to which core a shell of ligands is coordinated. They provide excellent model systems for an assembly of identical metal clusters, embedded in a dielectric matrix. We discuss a number of physical properties of these materials.
