Description
Summary:A combination of static and dynamic laser light-scattering techniques was employed to study the supramolecular structures of polyoxomolybdate-based giant molecules in aqueous solution. Convincing evidences indicate that the spherical aggregates have unique vesicle-like structures. A model is built up based on solid experimental results. It is the first time that a clear explanation is presented for the long-time enigma in inorganic chemistry:  the nature of the polyoxomolybdate aggregates in “molybdenum blue solution”.
