Annotation

The dependences of basic characteristics of octahedral clusters on their atomic numbers have been studied theoretically for ten elementary and transition fee metals. Their similarity to the same dependences for crystals has been established. This similarity gives grounds to regard an octahedral cluster as an elementary structural unit of a crystal, which carries extremely important information about the nature of interatomic interactions in a crystal.
