Abstract Transition metal clusters have been subject of experimental and theoretical interest due to their catalytic activity, as well as their unusual physical properties. Semi-empirical extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations are presented for a series of small metal clusters with nuclearity ranging from 3 to 6. Naked and carbonylated clusters of Fe, Ru, and Os are studied. The charge transfer between ligands shell and metal core is found to be a function of nuclearity, CO coordination and the chemical species forming the bare cluster. The observed magnetic properties of these systems are discussed in terms of their electronic structure and CO-metal charge transfer.
