“Living libraries” of intermetalloid, Cp*-ligated clusters (Cu/Zn, Cu/Al, Au/Al) in solution were systematically investigated using a novel approach based on in situ LIFDI-MS analysis and supported by in situ NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Specifically, cluster growth and reactivity pathways including radically mediated C-H and Si-H activation reactions, as well as CO
2 activation reactions, were investigated. Besides novel algorithms for the interpretation of LIFDI-MS spectra, the dissertation includes the extensive characterization of specific isolated cluster species.
