title: The first 3-connected SrSi2 -type 3D chiral framework constructed from {Ni6 PW9 } building units.
abstract: A novel 3-connected SrSi2 -type 3D chiral framework constructed from hexa-Ni(II) -cluster-substituted polyoxometalate (POM) units [Ni(enMe)2 ]3 [WO4 ]3 [Ni6 (enMe)3 (OH)3 PW9 O34 ]2 ⋅9H2 O (1) (enMe=1,2-diaminopropane) has been made from a hydrothermal synthetic method. This POM represents the first 3D framework based on {Ni6 PW9 } units and {WO4 } connectors.
