Trading templates: supramolecular transformations between {CoII13} and {CoII12} nanoclusters.
"Nuclearity switching" from a {Co13} supercluster to a {Co12} species via the addition of CO(3)2- anions is reported and can be traced in solution using electrospray MS techniques. In addition, cryospray MS can be used to identify the entire cluster in solution despite the relative lability of its constituents.
