This overview features the chemical background on condensation phenomena of the aluminum cation in aqueous solution. The formation of polycationic molecular clusters and nanosized solid phases of aluminum oxy(hydroxi)des is interpreted with illustrative mechanisms, building a bridge between solution chemistry and solid-state chemistry. The formation of the main structural types of aluminosilicates (zeolites, clays, imogolite) is also illustrated through the aqueous chemistry of aluminum and silicates.
