Cluster rectangular

It is important to realize that statistical-overlap theory is not constrained by the contour of area A, which does not have to be rectangular as in earlier studies (in addition to previous references, see Davis, 1991 Martin, 1991,1992). In other words, Equations 3.2 and 3.3 should apply to the spaces WEG, FAN, and PAR. In this chapter, the number of clusters of randomly distributed circles in such areas is compared to the predictions of Equations 3.2 and 3.3a to assess the relationship between nP and practical peak capacity. Similarly, the number of peak maxima formed by randomly distributed bi-Gaussians in such areas is compared to the predictions of Equations 3.2 and 3.3b, and to Fig. 3.2, to make another assessment.

Homo- and heterometallic rhenium oxomethoxide clusters with a [M4(/i-0)2(/r-0Me)4] (M = Re, Nb, Ta) planar core have been obtained by anodic oxidation of Re metal in methanol. [Re406(0Me)i2] has been studied crystallographically. The molecule is built up of a planar rectangular tetranuclear [Re4(/u-0)2(/u-0Me)404(0Me)8] unit. The heterometallic members of the family [Re4 xMx06-7(0Me)i2+3 ] (M = Mo, W) have been obtained by interaction of Rc207 with MO(OMe)4 or M(OMe)6 in toluene at reflux. 

The properties of the [CujI S - cluster are quite remarkable. This intense blue diamagnetic cluster (Amax 654 nm, e 46,100) can be described formally as a mixed-valence Cu(I), Cu(III) cluster (164). The crystal structure of this molecule (Fig. 59) supports this formalism and reveals a Cu5 rectangular pyramidal core (166). The basal copper atoms are three-coordinate and nearly planar and can be considered as Cu(I) units. The axial copper is four-coordinate and strictly planar, a coordination geometry appropriate for ad8 Cu(III) center. 

Fig. 65. (left) Vacancies on a silver surface can be manipulated by using an STM tip to move a neighbouring molecule into the gap. Here Bohringer et al. (University of Lausanne) show how the six vacancies in (a) can be repositioned into a rectangular cluster (d). (right) The beads in this abacus are 60 molecules less than 1 nm in diameter positioned on a silicon surface. They can be pushed back and forth with an STM tip in a controlled fashion to count from 1 to 10... 

Hence, the small clusters of anisotropic rectangular lattice with n=2 have a minimal ground state spin at 2 /, =a and intermediate values of So at 21/, >a. The corresponding results of the exact diagonalization study for the small lattice clusters described by the Hamiltonian (1) are in agreement with this conclusion [26].
