Chapter 10: Transition Metal Clusters Check Access

Transition metal clusters are a class of structurally spectacular compounds, the frame of which ranges from trinuclear to high-nuclearity molecules. The chapter illustrates the electrochemical activity of wide series of metal–sulfur and metal–carbonyl clusters and thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters. The fact that such derivatives often display an extended electron-transfer activity can have positive outcomes in material science, as well as clearly accounts for the redox activity of metal–sulfur proteins, which will be discussed in Chapter 11.
