title: Exploring the assembly of supramolecular polyoxometalate triangular morphologies with Johnson solid cores: [(Mn(II)(H2O)3)2(K⊂{α-GeW10Mn(II)2O38}3)]19-.
abstract: A new polyoxometalate (POM) cluster compound is presented which incorporates a trimeric assembly of Keggin-type germanotungstate fragments trapping a Johnson-type solid {Mn8} core. The mixed K-Li salt of the polyanion [(Mn(II)(H2O)3)2(K⊂{α-GeW10Mn(II)2O38}3)](19-) was characterized in the solid state and solution. The correlation of the assembly processes and the observed architecture of the "trinity" family of POMs is discussed.
