Abstract
In this paper the author reviews the work carried out under his direction in the laboratory of the Italian Research Council on the structure of an unusual class of compounds in which metal atoms in zero or low oxidation states are bonded to one another. The resolution of the configuration of the atoms in these interesting compounds may well improve our understanding of the electronic structure of metals and alloys.
