The new coordination polymer [ϵ‐PMo 12 O 37 (OH) 3 {La(H 2 O) 3 } 4 (L)] · 28H 2 O [H 4 L = tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)silane] can be synthesized by combining equal quantities of two types of 4‐connecting building blocks: organic L 4– ligands and inorganic polyoxometalate‐derived [ϵ‐PMo 12 O 37 (OH) 3 {La(H 2 O) 4 } 4 ] 4+ polyoxocations. The resulting coordination polymer exhibits the diamondoid topology, where both building blocks act as pseudotetrahedral nodes. The structural and spectroscopic characteristics of the parent polyoxocation are retained in the coordination polymer.
