Four new architectures containing [Co 2 Mo 10 H 4 O 38 ] 6-polyoxoanion, [Ln(H 2 O) 7 ][Ln(H 2 O) 5 ][Co 2 Mo 10 H 4 O 38 ]·5H 2 O (Ln = Gd 1; Tb 2), and (NH 4 ) 3 [Ln(H 2 O) 6 ][Co 2 Mo 10 H 4 O 38 ]·6H 2 O (Ln = Gd 3; Tb 4) have been synthesized at different temperatures and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy, TG analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Isostructural compounds 1 and 2 obtained at the higher temperature (85 o C), are built up of Evans-Showell-type polyoxoanions [Co 2 Mo 10 H 4 O 38 ] 6-respectively linked by Gd 3+ or Tb 3+ cations to form a 3D racemic framework with 1D zigzag channels. From the topological point of view, the 3D net is a rare binodal 4-connected SrAl 2 (sra) topology. As far as we know, compounds 1 and 2 represent the first examples of 3D architectures based on Evans-Showell-type polyoxometalate. Interestingly, the stable 3D microporous compounds exhibit selective adsorption ability: adsorbing water and methanol, as well as excellent photocatalytic activity for organic dye degradation under visible light irradiation. When the reaction temperature was decreased to room temperature (25 o C), two chiral species 3 and 4 were obtained, with a mono-supporting structure composed of one [Co 2 Mo 10 H 4 O 38 ] 6-polyoxoanion and one [Ln(H 2 O) 6 ] 3+ unit. These chiral mono-supporting motifs can be connected by strong hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a 3D chiral supramolecular architecture. They crystallize in the chiral space group P2 1 , as conglomerates of two enantiomerically pure crystals. Their absolute configurations were determined by the Flack parameters and solid state circular dichroism spectroscopy.
