Similarly, the coordination of [Al(OH)6Mo60ig] to two [Cu(phen)(H20)Cl] results in the formation of the anion, [Al(OH)6Mo60 1 gCu(phen)(H20)Cl 2] . As in the structures of other Anderson anions, the present cluster anion [Al(OH)6 MogOig] " has a B-type Anderson structure consisting of seven edge-shared... 

The repeating arrangement of the (H20)i3 cluster leads to the construction of a new type of waterpipe, as shown in Figure 52. The inner diameter dimensions of the water tube were found to be 8.527 x 8.061 A. The existence of such unstable pipe (vide supra) has been made possible by interactions with its surroundings, including an Anderson heteropolyanion and a dimeric copper complex cation.
