• Transition‐metal clusters have long been proposed as model systems to study heterogeneous catalysts. In this Concept article we show how advanced spectroscopic techniques can be used to determine the structures of gas‐phase transition‐metal clusters and their complexes with small molecules. Combined with computational studies, this can help to develop an understanding of the reactivity of these catalytic models. Caught in the act: Transition‐metal clusters have long been proposed as model systems to study heterogeneous catalysts. This Concept article shows how advanced spectroscopic techniques can be used to investigate gas‐phase metal clusters and their complexes with small molecules, with the aim of developing an understanding of their reactivity (see figure).
