Polyoxometalates (POMs) are an intriguing class of compounds due to their tremendous structural variety and the wide spectrum of resulting properties, which make them interesting for applications in fields such as catalysis, material science or nanotechnology. Their ability to form large supramolecular architectures by self-assembly offers an entry to complex, functional systems. After an introduction into the structure and synthesis of POMs of the early transition metals, recently discovered water-soluble antimonato polyoxovanadates (Sb-POVs) and the investigation of their chemical reactivity are discussed. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is presented as an analytical technique suitable to investigate the structure of complex POM assemblies in solution and to probe the underlying reactivity and formation mechanisms. This Minireview highlights the first studies on the soluble Sb-POVs and how the knowledge of their reactivity obtained by ESI-MS has fostered the syntheses of numerous novel Sb-POV compounds.
多金属氧酸盐（POMs）是一类引人入胜的化合物，因为它们具有巨大的结构多样性和广泛的性质，这使得它们在催化、材料科学或纳米技术等领域的应用中具有吸引力。它们通过自组装形成大的超分子结构的能力为复杂的功能系统提供了一种途径。在介绍了早期过渡金属的 POM 的结构和合成之后，讨论了最近发现的水溶性锑代多钒酸盐（Sb-POVs）及其化学反应性的研究。电喷雾电离质谱（ESI-MS）被提出作为一种适合于研究溶液中复杂 POM 组装体结构并探测潜在反应性和形成机制的分析技术。这篇综述强调了可溶性 Sb-POVs 的首次研究，以及通过 ESI-MS 获得的对其反应性的了解如何促进了众多新型 Sb-POV 化合物的合成。
