Graphical Abstract
A solved structure: The hydrated Ga13 cluster, [Ga13(μ3-OH)6(μ-OH)18(H2O)24](NO3)15], persists as a discrete nanoscale structure in an aqueous polar solvent at millimolar concentration. SAXS data confirm the presence of Ga13 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In aqueous [D6]DMSO 1H NMR signals for the hydroxo and aquo ligands of Ga13 were detected, thus showing a cluster with a hydrodynamic radius of (11.2±0.8) Å (see picture).

- 19At typical ESI-MS concentrations, these clusters fragment (or perhaps dissociate prior to ionization) readily, leading to complex spectra. We are currently analyzing high-resolution ESI-MS data to determine if cluster species can be characterized by this technique; these data will be reported in due course, but it suffices to say that for this system, ESI-MS does not appear to be a rapid/high-throughput characterization method.

- 28The relationship between rate of exchange and the diffusion period at which the DOSY data is collected can impact the diffusion coefficient of each exchangeable proton on the observed species. If a proton behaves more “clusterlike” over the diffusion time, the diffusion coefficient associated with the peak in question will be more clusterlike in character and hence shifted towards the peak in question (e.g., the cluster). If the proton is acting more “waterlike” the diffusion coefficient will shift closer to water. The degree of this shift depends on the rate of exchange. Protons on the cluster that are in faster exchange will appear to have larger diffusion coefficients, which causes a large spread in the measured cluster diffusion coefficents, and hence, hydrodynamic radii. For a detailed discussion in the context of the DOSY spectra of sucrose, see: E. J. Cabrita, S. Berger, Magn. Reson. Chem. 2002, 40, S 122–S127.
- 29aAlternately, data refinement, processing, and peak overlap can result in a scattering of diffusion coefficients: T. D. W. Claridge, High-Resolution NMR Techniques in Organic Chemistry, 2nd ed., Elsevier, Oxford, 2009, pp. 303–334. Methods for smoothing this artifact can be found in:

- 29bAlthough the Ga13 cluster exhibits a disklike shape in the crystal structure shown in Figure 1, the counterions are also considered to be part of the diffusing species in solution, which makes this diffusing species closer to spherical. The Einstein-Stokes Equation (1) assumes a spherical species and can therefore be used to predict an approximate species size in this limit. A recent related example has shown that ligand-substituted polyoxometallate anions can be modeled using this approximation (see Ref. [26]); it stands to reason that aqueous cluster cations can also be approximated similarly and the SAXS data support this assertion.
- 30The diffusion coefficients produced by DOSY on the Varian 500 MHz NMR spectrometer were calibrated using a method similar to the one found in: M. D. Pluth, B. E. F. Tiedemann, H. van Halbeek, R. Nunlist, K. N. Raymond, Inorg. Chem. 2008, 47, 1411–1413. The diffusion coefficient of a known standard, β-cylcodextrin (D=3.224×10−10 m2 s−1) in D2O, was used as a reference for calibration: L. G.
