By combining X‐ray total scattering and small‐angle X‐ray scattering, it is possible to obtain unique insight into the formation of atomically precise nanoclusters. In a study of bismuth oxide clusters on page 20407, Michael Mehring, Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen et al. investigate the formation of [Bi 38 O 45 ] clusters from [Bi 6 O 8 ], and show that an intermediate structure of [Bi 22 O 26 ] plays an important role in the process. This intermediate structure was identified through a new automated modelling approach.
