Hybrid polyoxometalate clusters with appended aromatic platforms†

The assembly of polyoxometalate architectures based on Mn-Anderson clusters capped with different yl)aminomethane), allows the ters of 2–5 with the general 2]$solv., (R –(C6H5) 2, –(C6H5O) pounds were obtained simply by the H2}2]), with the corresponding design principles for covalently dendrimers and macroporous materials. It is now apparent that organic components can dramatically influence the micro-scale clusters with predetermined structures via a bottom-up PAPER www.rsc.org/crystengcomm | CrystEngCommin CIF or other electronic format see DOI: 10.1039/b910434hFig. 1 A recent synthetic approach to the hybrid POM-aromatic architecture.
