A modular synthesis approach to multinuclear heterometallic oxo clusters in polyoxometalates

Abstract

We report a “modular synthesis approach” to multinuclear heterometallic oxo clusters in lacunary polyoxometalates (POMs). This approach allowed the synthesis of a POM containing a nonanuclear {CrMn₄}Lu₂Ag₂ cluster with the widest variety of metals among the discrete metal oxo clusters prepared to date.
