Popis:	The current theoretical ideas concerning the electronic structure of clusters and electron counting schemes for them derivable from molecular orbital analysis, whereby one can determine magic numbers of valence and skeletal electrons corresponding to energetically favourable characteristic geometrical configurations of cluster polyhedra, are examined. Among the multiplicity of polynuclear compounds, the class of superaromatic clusters obeying Wade's rule (the 2n + 2 rule) has been isolated. The structures of transition metal clusters Mn with n = 3–38, including small, trigonal-bipyramidal, and octahedral clusters, polyhedra of medium dimensions, and large clusters, are considered and the applicability of the existing schemes to the determination of magic numbers for each of these groups of compounds is discussed. The bibliography includes 150 references.
