A hollow sphere, constructed from VO 5 square pyramids and PhPO 3 tetrahedra , which encapsulates a chlorine atom—this is an apt description of the anion in 1 (structure shown on the right). At first glance this anion, with its spheroidal structure, appears similar to known polyoxoanions; however, closer inspection reveals the striking structural similarities to analogous binuclear building blocks and to the layered solid VO(O 3 PR), H 2 O, which extend beyond purely topological relationships to chemical behavior.
