Stable functional complementary clusters, i.e. of the electrophilic and nuc
leophilic type, can be 'added' resulting in the planned formation of the re
lated reaction products: the high-yield synthesis of the crystalline compou
nds [Me2NH2](10)- [{(SiW11O39)Mo3S4(H2O)(3)(mu-OH)}(2)]. 20H(2)O 1 and [Me2
NH2](14)[{(P2W17O61)Mo3S4(H2O)(3)(mu-OH)}(2)]. 25H(2)O 2 containing the rel
ated {Mo3S4}(4+) as well as {W11O39}(8-) and {W17O61}(10-) clusters as cons
tituents, respectively, is a good example.
