The smallest anion probably is H^-. I'm not sure you can say what the largest anion (or cation) is since complex ions can carry a - or + charge and these can get large. It would be complicated to even try to calculate the diameter of those things. For example Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub><sup>3-</sup> or UO<sub>2</sub><sup>2+</sup>
