Uranyl peroxo polyhedra self-assemble into more than 70 nano-scale cage clusters.  This presentation will focus on their assembly mechanisms, as revealed by time-resolved electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and small-angle X-ray scattering complemented by quantum chemical simulations.  The behavior of uranyl peroxo cage clusters in solution under varying conditions of ionic strength and pH will be examined on the basis of dynamic light scattering experiments.
