Keywords:Polyoxometalates / Manganese / Self-assembly / Mass spectrometry / Magnetic properties A manganese-containing organic-inorganic hybrid polyoxomolybdate, (TBA) 2 [Mn II 6 Mo VI 10 (O) 12 (μ-O) 14 (μ 3 -O) 4 (tert-butyl-PO 3 ) 6 (Ac) 2 (pyridine) 4 (H 2 O) 6 ]·(CH 3 CN) 6 (1; Ac = CH 3 COO, TBA = tetrabutylammonium), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and IR spectroscopy. Lindqvist hexamolybdate and manganese(III) acetylacetonate were used as starting Mo and Mn sources, respectively. Hexadecanuclear, mixed-metal 1 is characterized by a sandwich-type structural motif, whereby
