70. In the spherical jellium model, an N atomic cluster is approximated by a spherical drop with a radius given by the volume of N bulk atoms. The valence electrons are assumed to be delocalized moving in a spherical symmetrical effective potential caused by the N positively charged atomic cores. The positive charge distribution N / V is taken to be homogenous. Solving the radial Schrödinger equation leads to orbitals that are occupied according to the Pauli principle. Due to the spherical symmetry, the electronic eigenstates in this model have the same degeneracies as those of the hydrogen atom with electronic shell closings at 2, 8, 20, 34, 40, etc. valence electrons. Metal clusters with such shell closings exhibit high electronic stability.

138. m (n > m) cluster compound at low temperatures even with the help of sophisticated low-temperature techniques failed because of the easy formation of Al metal. Obviously there is no significant barrier for this decomposition (e.g., by very large metalloid clusters or any other kinetic hindrance). Huber, M. Diploma Thesis, University Karlsruhe (TH), 2004.

(269, 270) However, the importance of these results for the development of the entire chemistry, and especially of general bonding principles, was only realized after the essential investigations by scientists like W. N. Lipscomb some decades later. (271)
