Chemistry of finite bonded groups of atoms with molecular or metal-like skeletal bonding. Localized bond counts, skeletal-electron rules and delocalized shell models apply in different regimes.
An electronic model replacing discrete positive ionic cores by a smooth positive background. Approximately spherical clusters can be stabilized at closed angular-momentum shells.
A cluster whose nonhydrogen skeleton includes both carbon and aluminium. Exocyclic bonding must be distinguished from skeletal bonding when applying electron-counting rules.
