✦ Synopsis

Self-condensation of the [Mo 2 S 2 O 2 ] 2؉ building unit under addition of OH ؊ ions gave the neutral cyclic [Mo 12 S 12 O 12 (OH) 12 (H 2 O) 6 ] wheel. In the presence of assembling groups such as phosphates, arsenates, and oxalates, the Mo 2 -building unit led to anionic wheels di4ering by their nuclearity, shape, and charge. Solids were derived by tuning the type of associated cations ranging from isolated species to 3D arrangements and layered structures. By functionalization of the [Mo 2 S 2 O 2 ] 2؉ precursor by oxalate, discrete compounds having open or cyclic structures as well as in5nite solids were speci5cally designed.
