Abstract
Structural interest in organometallic and cluster compounds has been largely confined to their molecular structure and stereochemistry; their crystal structures and molecular packings have not been studied seriously. However, the extended structure contains information on intermolecular interactions which may be utilized for supramolecular assembly.
