The adsorption and decomposition behaviors of dimethyl methylphosphate (DMMP) on size‐selected (WO 3 ) 3 clusters were studied by a combination of X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Temperature Programmed Reaction (TPR). The fate of DMMP adsorbed on (WO 3 ) 3 clusters was found to be very similar to its fate on (MoO 3 ) 3 . In contrast to DMMP on (MoO 3 ) 3 , however, dimethyl ether was observed as a product in the reaction of DMMP with (WO 3 ) 3 , in addition to methanol, due to the higher Lewis acidity of (WO 3 ) 3 clusters as compared to (MoO 3 ) 3 .
