“Nanodroplets” consisting of a central ion surrounded by a solvation shell of water molecules provide an interesting medium for studies of aqueous transition‐metal chemistry in the unusual oxidation state ( I ). While V I undergoes efficient, solvent shell dependent redox reactions to V II and V III , the absence of any similar reactivity in aqueous Cr I , Mn I , Fe I , Co I , Ni I , and Cu I clusters is explained by a rapid precipitation of the corresponding single monochloride molecules from the nanosolutions.
