Figure S1. Polyhedral and ball-and-stick representation of polyoxoanion 1. Figure S2. Polyhedral and ball-and-stick representation of the 3D supramolecular structure of compound 1. Figure S3. Polyhedral and ball-and-stick representation of the 3D supramolecular structure of compound 1 viewed from a axis.

Figure S4. Polyhedral and ball-and-stick representation of the 3D supramolecular structure of compound 1 viewed from b axis. Figure S5. Polyhedral and ball-and-stick representation of the 3D supramolecular structure of compound 1 viewed from c axis. Figure S6. The UV-Vis spectrum for compounds 1 in the solid state. Figure S7. The TG curve of 1 exhibits three weight loss stages in the temperature ranges 30-600 °C. The first and second weight loss is 24.28% in the temperature

+ range 30-353 °C, corresponding to the release of all the NH4 ions and lattice water molecules in 1 (24.29%). After 353 °C, polyoxoanion 1 would be decomposed Figure S8. The cyclic voltammetry curve of compound 1. The electrochemical

behavior of compound 1 was investigated in pH = 5 (0.5 M H2SO4+Na2SO4) butter solution at the scan rate of 25 mVs-1. The CV of 1 possesses two irreversible redox

pairs at E1/2 = -0.060 and -1.011 V (E1/2 = (Epa+Epc)/2), which are responsible for redox processes of MoVI [1] and MoV [2] respectively.
