The best definition of a cluster compound is one having a closed polyhedron of metal atoms that is triangular in shape or bigger. Fe2(CO)9 and Fe3(CO)12 were swiftly isolated as a result of the rapid formation of metal carbonyl clusters like Ni(CO)4 and Fe(CO)5. The "unsupported" Mn-Mn link in Mn2(CO)10 was found by Rundle and Dahl, proving that metals may form bonds with one another in molecules. Using [Rh13(CO)24H3]2 as an example, Paolo Chini demonstrated in the 1970s how to build very big clusters from platinum metals. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique has been useful in this field of cluster chemistry. Other than CO, ligands are found in several metal carbonyl clusters. Examples of several substitutes for the CO ligand include phosphines, isocyanides, alkenes, hydrides, etc. In certain carbonyl clusters, there are two or more metals present. Others have vertex carbon. The Co3(CH)(CO)9 methylidyne-tricobalt cluster is one example. An illustration of a general zero-charged (neutral) cluster is the one given above. Furthermore, it is also known that cationic (positively charged) rather than neutral organometallic trimolybdenum or tritungsten clusters exist. [Mo3(CCH3)2(O2CCH3)6(H2O)3] 2+ is the first example of one of these ionic organometallic clusters.
