Abstract
Recent theoretical calculations which employed a multiconfiguration self-consistent field (MCSCF) followed by a multireference configuration interaction (MRSDCI) method on small coinage metal clusters are reviewed. The theoretical results are compared with experimental values when available. Critical comparisons of the dimers, trimers and tetramers of the coinage metal atoms are made and periodic trends are obtained. The gold clusters, in every case, exhibit anomalies owing to relativistic mass-velocity contractions
