Inorganic molecular oxides —also called polyoxometalates (POMs)—possess a high thermal and chemical stability, a major advantage for the further processing of these species. This feature has been exploited for the incorporation of single‐molecule magnet POMs in supports with very different characteristics (amorphous vs. crystalline; diamagnetic vs. paramagnetic). It is shown that with a judicious choice of the matrix, the single‐molecule magnet properties of the embedded and well‐isolated molecules are very close to those of a crystal.
