The intention of this chapter is to give the readers an overview of recent works on rhodium nanoclusters stabilized by carbonyl ligands that can be identified with atomic precision. The first introductory part will be devoted to the state of the art of transition metal clusters in general, to set the premises, followed by a more specific section on rhodium-based cluster compounds. The second part will illustrate the synthesis employed to obtain rhodium nanoclusters and the strategy to grow their nuclearity, with the focus on those species containing interstitial heteroatoms. The description of their multivalence properties will be defined in the third part, where selected examples will be discussed in detail. The fourth section will conclude the chapter and present future perspectives. With this chapter, authors would also like to honor those scientists that most greatly contributed to the growth of the carbonyl cluster chemistry after its very beginning, setting the premises for modern nanochemistry.

Abstract
The intention of this chapter is to give the readers an overview of recent works on rhodium nanoclusters stabilized by carbonyl ligands that can be identified with atomic precision. The first introductory part will be devoted to the state of the art of transition metal clusters in general, to set the premises, followed by a more specific section on rhodium-based cluster compounds. The second part will illustrate the synthesis employed to obtain rhodium nanoclusters and the strategy to grow their nuclearity, with the focus on those species containing interstitial heteroatoms. The description of their multivalence properties will be defined in the third part, where selected examples will be discussed in detail. The fourth section will conclude the chapter and present future perspectives. With this chapter, authors would also like to honor those scientists that most greatly contributed to the growth of the carbonyl cluster chemistry after its very beginning, setting the premises for modern nanochemistry.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
