title: Icosahedral galloxane clusters.
abstract: Hydrolysis of 'tris(aryl or alkyl)gallium(III)' species results in the formation of spheroidal dodecameric galloxane mixed oxide-hydroxide clusters, and shows that the gallium centres and associated residual alkyl/aryl groups are arranged at the polyhedral vertices of pseudo-icosahedra.
