27. -. By designating these metal-rich molecular species as metalloid clusters, we would like to distinguish them from such compounds. Metalloid (metal-like) clusters should be epitomized by the property that the number of metal-metal contacts exceeds the number of metal - ligand contacts and by the presence of metal atoms which participate exclusively in metal-metal interactions.
