Abstract
Two electron-rich, metal-metal bonded pentamolybdate hybrids, 2D-[MoIV3MoVI2O10Sr2(H2O)5(C6H4O7)2py3]·3.5H2O (1) and 1D-[MoIV3MoVI2O10Sr(H2O)3(C6H4O7)2py3]·py·2[NH2(CH3)2]·2H2O (2, py = pyridine), were prepared by the partial solvothermal oxidation of [MoIV3O2(O2CCH3)6(H2O)3]ZnCl4·8H2O and citric acid in py/H2O (for 1) or py/H2O/DMF (for 2). Both 1 and 2 feature a triangularly metal-metal bonded incomplete cuboidal [MoIV3O4] unit. Redox-active 6e-[MoIV3O4] units can serve as an "electron sponge" to store/release six electrons reversibly via Δ-bond breakage and re-formation during charging/discharging processes. 1 and 2 further form 3D and 2D supramolecular structures, respectively, through slipped π-π stacking interactions between the pyridine ligands. Both the incorporated 6e-redox active [MoIV3O4] unit and the 3D/2D supramolecular conductive networks in hybrid-POM 1/2 remarkably enhance the electronic conductivity and reversible multi-electron redox ability with the structural integrity retained. Consequently, 1 and 2 exhibited high discharge specific capacities of 236.0 and 277.0 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1, respectively, and a good cycling performance at high current density (121.8 mA h g-1, 2 A g-1 for 2), providing a new way for improving POM-based electrode materials.

Abstract
The first examples of extended Mo3IV-polyoxometalates (Mo3IV-POMs), 1D-H2 [Ge2Mo6IVMo4VIO31Zn(H2O)py9]·2Hpy·HOCH2CH2 OH•4H2O(H2[1]·2Hpy•glycol·H2O) and 2D-[P@Mo3IVMo9VIZn6(PO4)6O32py8]Cl·2py·7H2O ([2]·Cl•2py·7H2O), were prepared through the solvothermal partial oxidation of [Mo3IVO2(O2CCH3)6(H2O)3]ZnCl4 in py/H2O containing glycol (for 1) or H3PO4 (for 2). They were characterized by X-ray crystallography and elemental analyses. Their electronic structure and bonding were discussed on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, IR/UV-vis spectra, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, and mass spectrometry were also performed and discussed for 2D-2.

Abstract
Half a century ago, F. Albert Cotton emphasized the relevance of metal-metal bonding in the constitution of cluster materials. Based on his description, nanoscale polyoxometalates (POMs) normally would not be regarded as cluster materials. One reason is that metal-metal bonding is typically associated with inorganic systems featuring metal centres in low oxidation states, a feature that is not common for POMs. However, over the past decades, there have been increasing reports on POMs integrating different types of metal-metal bonding. This article conceptualises and reviews the area of metal-metal bonded POMs, and their preparation and physicochemical properties. Attention is given to the changes in the electronic structure of POMs, the emergence of covalent dynamics and its impact on the development of applications in catalysis, nanoswitches, donor-acceptor systems, electron storage materials and nanoelectronics (i.e., "POMtronics").

Abstract
First MoIV3-Keggin anions [MoIVxMVI12−xO40−xpyx]8− (M = Mo, W; x = 3, 6) display unprecedented empty Keggin structure caused by the weak u3-O coordinating capability of the [MoIV3O4] triads and LCF-dependent hydrogen transfer catalysis.
