Abstract
The preparation and study of gas-phase clusters in the form of solvated multiply charged metal ions presents a considerable experimental challenge; these first results on [Mg(thf)4]2+ suggest that stability is due primarily to orbital overlap rather than electrostatic interactions.Keywords
