New framework materials composed of well-defined vanadium oxide clusters were prepared by low-temperature reactions and characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The structures of these solids contain {V18O42} cages linked into two interpenetrating three-dimensional networks by bridging {M(H2O)4} groups (M=FeII, CoII; see picture).
