title: Unusual visible luminescence of aluminium polyoxocations in aqueous solution.
abstract: Identification of aluminium polyoxocations, MO(4)Al(12)(OH)(24)(H(2)O)(12)(7/8+) (M = Al, Ga and Ge) (K-MAl(12)) and Al(30)O(8)(OH)(56)(H(2)O)(26)(18+) (Al(30)), by their luminescence is reported. The fluorescence behavior of K-Al(13) has been found to differ with different metal ions and anions, implying a new discovery of a potential ion sensor.
