The analogy between the chemistry of molecular transition metal
clusters and the processes of chemisorption and catalysis at metal
surfaces (the Cluster Surface analogy) has for a number of years
provided an interplay between experimental and theoretical
inorganic and physical chemists. This collaborative approach has
borne fruit in the use of well-defined modes of metal-ligand
bonding in discrete molecular clusters, models for metal-ligand
binding on surfaces. Some of the key topics discussed in this book
are: mechanisms of the fluxional behaviour in clusters in the
liquid phase and the connections with diffusion processes on
extended surfaces, and the role of metal-metal bond breaking in
diffusion; analogies in the structure of chemisorbed species and
related ligands on metallic clusters; analogies between benzene
surface chemistry on extended metal surfaces and on metal surfaces
in molecular cluster compounds with particular reference to
structural distortions; and the role of mobile precursors for
dissociation of chemisorption on extended metals and on clusters.
