A metastable layered tellurite (Li 2 Mo 3 TeO 12 ) in an extremely strained environment has been synthesized. Li + ‐exchange‐driven transformation reactions of Li 2 Mo 3 TeO 12 to polyoxometalates have been successfully monitored by simple lab‐source X‐ray diffraction. Through the obtained kinetic data, a plausible mechanism for the solid‐state transformation reactions has been suggested. This new finding could be utilized in discovering novel metastable materials and their phase transitions. More information can be found in the Communication by K. M. Ok et al. on page 6712.
