In polluted streams aluminum‐based amorphous solids (flocs) are formed via an intermediate, the ε‐Keggin [AlO 4 Al 12 (OH) 24 (H 2 O) 12 ] 7+ ion (Al 13 7+ ). In their Communication on page 9253 ff., A. Navrotsky et al. show the ε‐Keggin Al 13 7+ ion is energetically close to these aluminum flocs. Shown is a stream polluted with aluminum hydroxide flocs from Collar Gulch, Montana.
