Solution-phase synthesis of Al13 − using a dendrimer template

Superatoms—clusters that exhibit some of the properties of elemental atoms—could serve as building blocks for functional materials, but their synthesis outside of the gas phase is highly challenging. Here, the authors use a dendrimer template to successfully produce Al13 − in solution.
