POM and circumstance: Nanometer-sized polyoxometalates (POMs) bring a new direction to anion-templated supramolecular chemistry. The Keggin (left) and Dawson-type (right) polyoxoanions direct the assembly of giant metallomacrocycles through an array of weak hydrogen-bonding interactions. The concerted action of multiple hydrogen bonds keeps the templating guests embedded within the hosts, even in the solution state.
