In this review article, we discuss advances in the chemistry of metal carbonyl clusters
(MCCs) spanning the last three decades, with an emphasis on the more recent reports and …

Nanoclusters are nanostructures consisting of few to tens of atoms which have attracted
great interest from the scientific community due to their applications in a myriad of fields …

The present microreview focuses on different typologies of isomerism documented along the
years for metal carbonyl clusters (MCCs), and outlines their analogies to other classes of …

In this paper we present the investigation of the reactivity of [Rh7 (CO) 16] 3− with InCl3, with
the aim of expanding the more general study that allowed us to obtain, among other species …

The molecular nanocluster [Ni36–x Pd5+ x (CO) 46] 6–(x= 0.41)(1 6–) was obtained from the
reaction of [NMe3 (CH2Ph)] 2 [Ni6 (CO) 12] with 0.8 molar equivalent of [Pd (CH3CN) …

Heterometallic Chini-type clusters [Pt6− xNix (CO) 12] 2−(x= 0–6) were obtained by
reactions of [Pt6 (CO) 12] 2− with Ni-clusters such as [Ni6 (CO) 12] 2−,[Ni9 (CO) 18] 2− and …

The reaction of [Ru6C (CO) 16] 2–(1) with NaOH in DMSO resulted in the formation of a
highly reduced [Ru6C (CO) 15] 4–(2), which was readily protonated by acids, such as HBF4 …

In this Frontier Article, the work carried out within our research group in Bologna in the field
of surface decorated metal carbonyl clusters will be outlined and put in a more general …

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) added a three-dimensional
interpretation of simple molecular inorganic compounds by proposing that bonds and lone …

The synthesis of the previously‐reported atomically‐precise [Rh16Au6 (CO) 36] 6−(1)
nanocluster has been optimized by screening different reaction variables like solvent …
