First sentence: Transition-metal carbonyl clusters containing interstitial or semi-interstitial atoms have been the subject of many studies, particularly in view of the fact that the insertion of interstitial atoms inside the metal cage of the clusters often increases the number of valence electrons (hence affecting to some extent the reactivity), leaving essentially unaltered the molecular geometry with respect to the original species.
