= Metal cluster compound
{wiki=Metal_cluster_compound}
Metal cluster compounds are coordination complexes that consist of a small number of metal atoms (usually between two and several dozen) bonded together, often surrounded by ligands that stabilize the cluster. These compounds can exhibit unique properties and behaviors that are distinct from those of bulk metals or isolated metal ions. Key characteristics of metal cluster compounds include: 1. **Composition**: They are typically composed of multiple metal atoms, which can be of the same or different elements.
