This whole section seems a complete muddle of the physical/chemical objects and our scientific thinking about those objects. OK, so C 283:
The section on number of atoms and size walks us through some high-school algebra per "the Japanese scientist R. Kubo" (would it matter if he had been, say Portuguese?) to conclude—I gather—that no gold nanocluster can involve more than 220 atoms. From that it seems to infer that all nanoclusters

I do think a merge of some kind makes sense. From my POV there are also some serious problems with both articles, and although merging would help, a great deal needs to be done in order for this material to be encyclopedic. The

The final sentence in the article (before the further reading and references) is, "To enhance a given property of nanoclusters, a proper synthesis route and proper scaffold to stabilize them must be chosen."

The topic of this article is ill-defined. Presently, it is a magnet for musings, primary references, and loosely related factoids. It would take a lot of work to repair, so maybe we just leave it as

article is solely focused on metal clusters, as was rightly pointed out. So yes, merge them, but let's also make the resulting article more general. I'll be available to help with that.

Furthermore, that first sentence of the lead says nothing more about metal nanoclusters than to describe their makeup. That's as if
