contrary to the common belief that a simple description of the bonding in Ni–S(Se) clusters is not possible, the electronic structure of the cluster [Ni 5 S(S t Bu) 5 ] − ( 1 ) can be understood in terms of an idealized molecular orbital interaction diagram. The more complicated cluster [Ni 20 Se 12 (SeMe) 10 ] 2− can also be analyzed in this manner.
