Symmetry preservation in a new noncentrosymmetric lattice comprised of acentric POM clusters residing in bowls of Cs+-based half SOD β-cage

Abstract

In light of ever growing interests in noncentrosymmetric materials, a fascinating reticular chemistry is illustrated via the structure of a new family of solids where the acentric symmetry of the well-known [V⁴⁺₁₄As³⁺₈O₄₂Cl]⁵⁻POM cluster is manifested through the network construction of counter cations featuring slabs of Cs⁺-based half SOD β-cages.
