Aromaticity and Metal Clusters

This volume explores the basic aspects of aromaticity as well as the consequences of the aromaticity of a variety of metal clusters. Topics discussed include computational studies on molecules with unusual aromaticity; electronic shells and magnetism in small metal clusters; a density functional investigation on the structures, energetics, and properties of sodium clusters through electrostatic guidelines and molecular tailoring; the correlation between electron delocalization and ring currents in all metallic aromatic compounds; phenomenological shell model and aromaticity in metal clusters; rationalizing the aromaticity indexes used to describe the aromatic behavior of metal clusters; and 5f orbital successive aromatic and antiaromatic zones in triangular uranium cluster chemistry.
