A calix-shaped polyoxometalate, [V<sub>12</sub>O<sub>32</sub>]<sup>4-</sup> (<b>V12</b>), stabilizes an anion moiety in its central cavity. This molecule-sized container has the potential to control the reactivity of an anion. The highly-reactive cyanate is smoothly trapped by <b>V12</b> to form [V<sub>12</sub>O<sub>32</sub>(CN)]<sup>5-</sup>. In the CH<sub>3</sub>NO<sub>2</sub> solution, cyanate abstracts protons from CH<sub>3</sub>NO<sub>2</sub>, and the resultant CH<sub>2</sub>NO<sub>2</sub>< ...[more]
