Abstract: Polyoxometalates (POMs) are discrete, anionic metal-oxo clusters with a diverse compositional range, enormous structural variety, and a multitude of physicochemical properties including magnetism. Examples of classical POMs are the Keggin (e.g. [SiMo12O40]4-) and Dawson ions (e.g. [P2W18O62]6-), but besides polyoxotungstates and - molybdates also polyoxovanadates, -niobates and -tantalates (e.g. [MV6O19]8-, M = V, Nb, Ta) are known. A few POMs appear in nature as minerals (such as sherwoodite Ca4.5[AlV14O40]), whereas the number of POMs synthesized in the laboratory is enormous. For the Keggin- and Dawson-type polyoxotungstes derivatives can be made by the incorporation of d or f block metal ions, including paramagnetic ones, and thereby engineering magnetic POMs. In fact, it was possible to incorporate up to 20 guest metal ions into the wheel-shaped POM host {P8W48}, resulting in {Cu20P8W48} and {Fe16P8W48}. The spin-spin coupling of the oxo/hydroxo-bridged magnetic guest ions can be investigated, and in some cases molecular magnetism was observed (e.g. {Co16P8W36}). In 2008 the class of polyoxopalladates(II) (POPs) was developed with the discovery of the cube-shaped [Pd13As8O40]14-, and then developed further systematically, resulting in different structure types such as star, open-shell, bowl, dumbbell, and some derivatives exhibited interesting magnetic properties.
