Back and forth: A concerted reversible redox reaction occurs in a pure metal oxide extended polyoxometalate framework when the accessible pockets are filled with a suitable redox agent (see picture). Direct control over the framework properties is demonstrated by repeated reversible switching between an expanded and a contracted structure. Successive recrystallizations from hot water repeatedly destroys and regenerates the framework.
