The term "butterfly cluster compound" can refer to a specific type of molecular structure observed in coordination chemistry or organometallic chemistry, where a group of metal atoms (often transition metals) forms a cluster with a distinctive geometry that resembles a butterfly. These compounds typically contain a central metal core and are stabilized by ligands that bind to the metal centers.
