Abstract
The transition from van der Waals to metallic bonding expected to occur in divalent-metal clusters (e.g., Be n , Mg n , Hg n ) as a function of cluster size is discussed. Theoretical results for several electronic properties reflecting this transition in Hg n -clusters are briefly reviewed and compared with available experiments. The limitations of the present theory particularly concerning the role of correlations and van der Waals interactions are discussed and possible improvements are suggested.
