title: Microscopic environment of metal ion controlled by the balance between preferential solvation and coordination.
abstract: The preferential solvation and the coordination characterizing metal ions (Mg2+ and Zn2+) in solution, which control the microscopic environments around the metal ions, were directly observed through the mass spectrometric analysis of clusters isolated from liquid droplets.
