Abstract
An up-to-date overview of recent developments in the structure elucidation of large ArN-clusters (103<N<105), employing gas-phase electron diffraction data, is given. Although a satisfactory model for N3000 had been found in 1996, the size range beyond N10,000 presents new and unexpected problems. Two approaches, to attack these problems, are discussed. The quest for the Ar cluster structure is placed in the context of the rare gas solid (RGS)-problem: why are RGSs fcc?
