A mixed‐valence polyoxomolybdate cluster [H 2 Mo VI 12 Mo V 4 O 52 ] 10− was isolated by a new “shrink‐wrapping” approach to trap clusters that display low symmetry and nonspherical topology (see scheme; HMTAH=protonated hexamethylenetetraamine). The unprecedented cluster topology results from the restriction of the reorganization of the cluster framework to more symmetrical clusters, yet it reacts with electrophiles, such as Fe II .
