Molybdenum blue (MB), formed by partial reduction of MoVI in an acidic aqueous solution, is a striking inorganic material due to its vivid blue color. It is a mixture of polyoxomolybdate (POM) clusters consisting of mixed-valent MoV and MoVI centers.[1–3] Although the initial exploration was made more than 200 years ago,[4] the first success in structural analysis of POM clusters was only reported in 1995, when Müller and coworkers isolated a crown-shaped POM cluster and obtained its crystal structure.[5] To date, they have also succeeded in structural determination of large POM clusters with hollow and spherical shapes.[6, 7] Despite their interesting potentials in materials sciences, no examples have yet been reported of the utilization of such inorganic nano-objects for the fabrication of discrete inorganic/organic nanocomposite materials. Herein we report that the crown-shaped POM (molybdenum crown cluster; MC), upon mixing with metalloporphyrins having meso-aminophenyl substituents, forms discrete inclusion complexes, where the inorganic cavity of MC can accommodate up to three molecules of the guest compounds, to give spatially isolated metalloporphyrin molecules (Scheme 1).
