The polyoxoanion of 1 is a novel trimer constructed from three mono-CoII substituted Keggin fragments [α-GeW11CoO38]4− linked by six W−O−Co/W bridges and a capping [Co(H2O)3]2+ bridge. 2 displays the one-dimensional chain built by tetrameric {[Mn(H2O)3]2[Mn(H2O)2][(B-β-SiW9O33(OH))Mn3(H2O)(B-β-SiW8O30(OH))]2}18− units, which is the first one-dimensional silicotungstate containing asymmetric sandwich-type moieties constructed from [B-β-SiW9O34]10− and [B-β-SiW8O31]10− fragments. 3 utilizes the two-dimensional sheet established by tetra-CdII substituted sandwich-type [Cd4(H2O)2(B-α-SiW9O34)2]12− units and [Cd(H2O)3]2+ linkers, representing the first two-dimensional (3,6)-topological network with a Schläfli symbol of 364653 built by sandwich-type Keggin units in polyoxometalate chemistry. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within CoII ions in 1 and within MnII ions in 2. The best least-squares fitting values for 2 are J = −1.16 cm−1 and g = 2.13 based on the isostropic spin model. Furthermore, the room-temperature solid-state photoluminescence of 3 displays two emission bands, which are derived from O → Cd ligand-to-metal charge transfer transitions and O → W ligand-to-metal charge transfer transitions, respectively.
