The aggregation of molecular metal oxides into larger superstructures can bridge the gap between molecular compounds and solid-state materials. Here, we report that functionalization of polyoxotungstates with organo-boron substituents leads to giant polyoxometalate-based nanocapsules with dimensions of up to 4 nm. A "lock and key" mechanism enables the site-specific anchoring of aromatic organo-boronic acids to metal-functionalized Dawson anions [M<sub>3</sub> P<sub>2</sub> W<sub>15</sub> O<sub> ...[more]
