Figure 10.

Illustration of how the surface of the [Bi₃₈O₄₅] cluster, with nitrate as the ligand, induces a solvent restructuring effect up to r=30 Å. Interactions between the bismuth oxido clusters and the DMSO molecules induce an ordering of the solvent molecules near the [Bi₃₈O₄₅] cluster surface, which gives rise to an exponentially dampened sinusoidal oscillation in the PDF. Carbon atoms are shown in black, sulfur in yellow, and hydrogen in beige.
