However, these polynuclear complexes can serve as models for more-complicated surface structures and are the precursors to nanometric and colloidal solids and solutes. There are many reasons why polynuclear complexes should be foremost in the minds of geochemists, and particularly those geochemists who are interested in molecular information and reaction pathways: In this chapter we discuss polynuclear complexes of aluminum. There is a wide variety of multimeric complexes of... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
