Solvatomorphic diversity dictates the stability and solubility of metal-organic polyhedra.

ABSTRACT: The reaction between molybdenum(ii) acetate and 5-aminoisophthalic acid (H₂Iso-NH₂) afforded [Mo₁₂O₁₂(μ₂-O)₁₂(Iso-NH₂)₁₂]^12-, a novel molybdenum(v) metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) with a triangular antiprismatic shape stabilized by intramolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The synthesis conditions, particularly the choice of solvent and reaction time, led to the precipitation of the Mo(v)-MOP in five distinct crystalline forms. These forms vary in their packing arrangements, co-crystallized solvent molecules, and counter-cations, with three phases containing dimethylammonium (dma⁺) and the other two containing diethylammonium (dea⁺). Each solvatomorph exhibits unique physical
