Direct evidence on the existence of [Mo132]Keplerate-type species in aqueous solution.
We demonstrate the existence of discrete single molecular [Mo(132)] Keplerate-type clusters in aqueous solution. Starting from a discrete spherical [Mo(132)] cluster, the formation of an open-basket-type [Mo(116)] defect structure is shown for the first time in solution using analytical ultracentrifugation sedimentation velocity experiments.
