Abstract The literature concerning cluster complexes which contain both main group element and transition metal vertices is reviewed. Synthetic methods and general reactivity patterns are summarized. Emphasis is placed on structural. Comparisons of cluster geometries for a wide variety of element combinations. Relationships between these mixed clusters and the main group element clusters known as Zintl ions are discussed.
