Sumario:The article informs that nanostructured materials assembled from finite-sized stable clusters have been extensively sought after since the discovery of C. Fabrication of cluster-assembled materials is dependent upon finding a suitable building block for a cluster that is chemically stable and interacts weakly with other clusters of the same material. To ensure the chemical stability of a cluster, it is crucial to satisfy a closed electron configuration with a large energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital.
