Abstract
We predict that electron attachment may be used with ESI-MS techniques to observe neutral Al metal aqua-oxo-hydroxo species and the complex polymerization and precipitation reactions in which they participate. Neutral aqueous metal species have, so far, been invisible to ESI-MS techniques.
