Notes:
A variety of transition-metal cluster structures are found within the extended arrays of solidstate materials. Although molecular analogues of some of these clusters have been synthesized - either by the self-assembly of smaller components in solution or by the excision of intact cluster units directly from the solid-state phase - molecular chemists are often unaware of the rich structural variety expressed in solid-state clusters. This article presents these diverse structural types as potential targets for synthetic molecular chemistry by describing fundamental solid-state cluster topologies in transition-metal chalcogenide/halide phases and detailing cases where molecular counterparts have been prepared. Particular emphasis is placed on cluster excision as a method of molecular cluster synthesis.
