In previous volumes in this series, "Advances in Metal and
Semiconductor Clusters," the focus has been on atomic clusters of
metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies
have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new
materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster
precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters
composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one
or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These
clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes
and metal-ligand interactions.
Metal-ligand bonding underlies the vast fields of organometallic
chemistry, transition metal chemistry and homogeneous catalysis.
Catalytic activity, ligand displacement reactions and photochemical
activity depend on the specific details of metal-ligand bonding.
Likewise, metal ions are ubiquitous in chemistry and biology and
weaker electrostatic interactions play a leading role in their
function. In solution, metals exist in different charge states
depending on the conditions, and the solvation environment strongly
influences their chemistry. Many enzymes have metal ions at their
active sites, and electrostatic interactions influence the
selectivity for metal ion transport through cell membranes. Metal
ions (e.g., Mg+, Ca+) are deposited into the earth's atmosphere by
meteor ablation, resulting in a rich variety of atmospheric
chemistry. Similarly, metal ions ( Mg+) have been observed in
planetary atmospheres and in the impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy
9 on Jupiter. In various circumstances, the electrostatic
interactions of metal ions determine the outcome of significant
chemistry. Cluster chemistry has made significant contributions to
the understanding of these stronger metal ligand interactions and
weaker metal ion solvation interactions. In this volume, the
authors explore a variety of work in these general areas, where new
cluster science techniques in the gas phase have made it possible
to synthesize new kinds of complexes with metals and to measure
their properties in detail.
