Abstract
One of the driving forces for the development of metal cluster chemistry has been the opportunities that these compounds offer in catalysis1. To an inorganic chemist, a metal cluster is a compound with two (or perhaps three) or more metal atoms2,3, whereas to most researchers in classical heterogeneous catalysis, a metal cluster is a small, discrete group of metal atoms (referred to here as a metal aggregate) dispersed on a support, typically a porous metal oxide with a high internal surface area. Many industrial catalysts, ranging from those used in automobile exhaust converters to those used in petroleum naphtha reformers, consist of small metal aggregates dispersed on high-area supports or carriers. Understanding of the structures and properties of the metal aggregates is difficult because they are nonuniform in size, shape, interactions with the support, and (for many reactions) catalytic activity.
