Binding energies calculated in the local density approximation for small transition metal clusters establish a [ital trend] with atomic number which accurately represents the trend in cohesive energies for their crystalline counterparts. This correlation in trends means that small clusters differ from each other, as far as binding energies are concerned, in the [ital same] [ital way] the corresponding crystalline solids differ. Local near-neighbor bonding determines the [ital variations] in cohesive properties that distinguish one metal from another.
