The no‐man's‐land between typical homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts is slowly being explored. Particularly important have been the multinuclear metal clusters synthesized and characterized in recent years. They not only serve as models for heterogeneous catalysts but also display unusual catalytic properties. The criteria governing the structures of these large clusters are revealed very clearly by the cluster dianion [Os 20 (CO) 40 ] 2⊖ obtained by B. F. G. Johnson and J. Lewis et al. (see also p. 107 ff.).
