Access to asymmetrically functionalized polyoxometalates is a grand challenge as it could lead to new molecular nanomaterials with multiple or modular functionality. Now, a simple one-pot synthetic approach to the isolation of an asymmetrically functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid Wells-Dawson polyoxometalate in good yield is presented. The cluster bears two organophosphonate moieties with contrasting physical properties: a chelating metal-binding group, and a long aliphatic chain that facilitates solvent-dependent self-assembly into soft nanostructures. The orthogonal properties of the modular system are effectively demonstrated by controlled assembly of POM-based redox-active nanoparticles. This simple, high-yielding synthetic method is a promising new approach to the preparation of multi-functional hybrid metal oxide clusters, supermolecular systems, and soft-nanomaterials.
