Novel Anderson-type polyoxomanganotungstate clusters with the β-isomer structure, [{R1R2C(CH2O)2}MnIVW6O22]6-, were synthesized and monofunctionalized with derivatives of 1,3-propanediol via a one-pot strategy, and show unprecedented coordination activity as non-lacunary polyoxotungstate clusters and could have potential in the future construction of POM-frameworks.
