The Capping Theory of Chemical Clusters

More about the book

The book delves into the intricate analysis of transition metal and main group element clusters, highlighting their adherence to specific mathematical series for categorization. It emphasizes the isolobal relationship between these series and introduces the capping theory, which evolves from skeletal numbers to precise calculations of cluster valence electrons (CVE). This theory is presented as a natural law governing chemical clusters, demonstrating its significance in accurately determining CVE and generating cluster formulas.
