X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy allows to obtain fundamental insight into magnetic properties of free, size-selected clusters. Using a combination of XMCD and non-empirical density functional theory, we demonstrate that the magnetic moment of MnSin+ is completely quenched as soon as a cluster size of n = 10 is exceeded. This is the result of a structural transition with an abrupt increase of the impurity coordination, which takes place between MnSi10+ and MnSi11+ and is accompanied by marked changes in the local electronic structure of the manganese impurity.
