Abstract
The bonding and structure in transition-metal clusters is generally well understood with the help of the Polyhedral Skeletal Electron Pair (PSEP) theory [1]. This theory provides simple rules, known as the Wade-Mingos rules within the organometallic community, which describe the relationship between the geometry of the cluster and its number of valence electrons. The theoretical basis of these rules have been developped later by Stone within the framework of the Tensor Surface Harmonic (TSH) theory [2]. Historically they have been established first for simple main-group clusters, such as boranes and carboranes, and subsequently generalized to transitionmetal clusters with the help of the isolobal analogy [3].
