Nobly born: The bowl-shaped noble metalate [Pd^II₇V^V₆O₂₄(OH)₂]⁶⁻(Pd₇V₆) comprises seven square-planar Pd^IIO₄ units as well as four tetrahedral V^VO₄ and two square-pyramidal V^VO₅ addenda units (see picture). The solution stability of Pd₇V₆ has been demonstrated by ⁵¹V NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, and DFT calculations.
