In comparison with the boranes, the polyhedral structures of transition metal cluster species are relatively compact; this difference is attributable to the important bonding effects of the valence d-electrons in transition metal clusters which favour, cluster bonding based on close packing, and also show up in photoelectron spectroscopy.
