Reacting (CH 3 ) 2 SnCl 2 with the superlacunary polyanion [H 2 P 4 W 24 O 94 ] 22− resulted in<br />

a dimeric hybrid organic-inorganic polyanion, [{Sn(CH 3 ) 2 } 4 (H 2 P 4 W 24 O 94 ) 2 ] 36− (3).It has<br />

been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy <strong>and</strong> elemental<br />

analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis <strong>of</strong> K 17 Li 19 [{Sn(CH 3 ) 2 } 4 (H 2 P 4 W 24 O 94 ) 2 ]·51H 2 O<br />

showed that it crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P 4 2 /nmc, a = b =<br />

21.5112(17) Å, c = 27.171(3) Å, Z = 2. Polyanion 3 is composed <strong>of</strong> two (H 2 P 4 W 24 O 94 )<br />

fragments that are linked by four equivalent diorganotin groups. The unprecedented assembly<br />

3 has D 2d symmetry <strong>and</strong> contains a hydrophobic pocket at its center.<br />

The trimeric, hybrid organic-inorganic tungstophophate(V)<br />

[{Sn(CH 3 ) 2 (OH)} 3 (Sn(CH 3 ) 2 ) 3 {A-PW 9 O 34 } 3 ] 18− (4) has been synthesized in acidic medium.<br />

It has been characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis <strong>and</strong> cyclic voltametry.<br />

Single-crystal X-ray analysis <strong>of</strong> the compound showed that it crystallizes in rhombohedral<br />

system, space group R 3m, a = b = 29.7445(7) Å, c = 15.5915(7) Å, Z = 3. The polyanion<br />

is composed <strong>of</strong> three (A-α-PW 9 O 34 ) fragments that are linked by six dimethyltin groups,<br />

where the outer three ones are connected by µ 2 − OH bridges leading to a cyclic core<br />

which act as a cap leading to a bowl type structure. This arrangement results in a cyclic,<br />

trimeric, unprecedented polyanion assembly with C 3v symmetry.<br />

The tetrameric, hybrid organic-inorganic tungstoarsenate(III) [{Sn(CH 3 ) 2 (H 2 O)} 2<br />

{Sn(CH 3 ) 2 }As 3 (α-AsW 9 O 33 ) 4 ] 12− (5) has been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy,<br />

FTIR spectroscopy <strong>and</strong> elemental analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis <strong>of</strong> the<br />

compound showed that it crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P 21/c, with<br />

a = 22.612(2) Å, b = 19.954(2) Å, c = 41.099(4) Å, Z = 4. Polyanion 5 is composed <strong>of</strong> four<br />

(B-α-AsW 9 O 33 ) fragments that are linked by three dimethyltin groups <strong>and</strong> three As(III)<br />

atoms resulting in an unprecedented, chiral polyoxoanion assembly with C 1 symmetry.<br />

Interaction <strong>of</strong> (CH 3 ) 2 SnCl 2 with Na 9 [A-XW 9 O 34 ] (X = P V , As V ) in aqueous acidic<br />

medium resulted in the dodecameric, ball-shaped anions [{Sn(CH 3 ) 2 (H 2 O)} 24 {Sn(CH 3 ) 2 } 12<br />

(A-XW 9 O 34 ) 12 ] 36− (X = P V , As V ) (6-7). They has been characterized by multinuclear<br />

NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy <strong>and</strong> elemental<br />

analysis. Both compounds crystallize as mixed cesium-sodium salts <strong>and</strong> are isomorphous.<br />

Single crystal Single-crystal X-ray analysis <strong>of</strong> the compound showed that it crystallizes in<br />
