SI, 1. Experimental section
SI, 1.1. Physical methods.
Water content was determined by thermal gravimetric
analysis (tga7, Perkin-Elmer). Infrared spectra were recorded
on a Magna 550 Nicolet spectrophotometer, using KBr pellet.
Spectrophotometric measurements were performed at room
temperature using a Perkin Elmer Lambda 19 UV-Vis-NIR
spectrophotometer. Elemental analyses were performed by the
Service Central d’Analyses Elémentaires du CNRS, 69390
Vernaison, France. EDX measurements were carried out on a JEOL
JSM 5800LV apparatus.
SI, 1.2. NMR measurements. 183W NMR spectra were performed from solutions in 10 mm
tubes on a Bruker Avance 300 operating at 12.5 MHz or on a
Bruker DRX500 operating at 20.8 MHz. Chemical shifts were
referenced to the external 2 M sodium tungstate in alkaline D2O
(δ = 0 ppm) and were measured by the substitution method, using
a saturated solution of dodecatungstosilicic acid (H4SiW12O40)
in D2O as a secondary external standard (δ = -103.8 ppm). 39K
NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX500 operating at 23.3
MHz in 10 mm tubes, and using spin-echo sequence with
repetition delay 0.9 s, 90° and 180° pulses 35 and 70 µs
respectively, and echo delay 80 µs. A 2 M potassium chloride in
water is used as external reference for the chemical shifts
measurements.
SI, 1.3. X-ray Crystallography.
Structures of complexes K3.5Na32.5-1a•120H2O, K1Li35-
1a•~200H2O, K34.5Na1.5-1b•90H2O, Rb14Li10-2•90H2O, Cs15Li9-2•52H2O
and Cs9Li3-3•37H2O were obtained from single crystals X-ray
4
analysis. All crystals were air sensitive and then mounted in
sealed Lindeman tubes to prevent any loss of crystallization
water. X-ray intensity data collections were carried at RT on
a Bruker-Nonius X8-APEX2 CCD area-detector diffractometer
using Mo-Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Data reduction was
accomplished using SAINT V7.03 (APEX2 version 1.0-8; Bruker
AXS: Madison, WI, 2003). An empirical absorption correction
based on the method of Blessing1 was applied by using the
SADABS program.2 The structures were solved by direct methods
and refined by the full-matrix least squares method on all F2
data by using the SHELX-TL package.3 Relevant crystallographic
data for compounds are reported in Table 1. Heavier atoms
(mainly tungsten and molybdenum) were initially located by
direct methods. The remaining non-hydrogen atoms were located
from Fourier differences and were refined with anisotropic
thermal parameters. The disordered atoms, alkali cations and
oxygen atoms of crystallized water were isotropically refined.
As usually observed in polyoxometalate structures, the alkali
counter-cations and crystallization water molecules are not
entirely located, probably due to severe disorders within the
crystals. Cif files containing X-Ray crystallographic data of
K3.5Na32.5-1a•120H2O, K1Li35-1a•~200H2O, K34.5Na1.5-1b•90H2O, Rb14Li10-

SI, 1.4. Computational details.
Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been
carried out on the [(AsW9)2n(Mo2S2O2)3n]-like (n = 1-3) series of
compounds. We have used the ADF2008 program4,5,6 with the
generalized gradient approximation (GGA), applying the Xα
model with Becke’s corrections7 for describing exchange, and
the VWN parameterization8 with Perdew’s corrections for
correlation9 (BP86 functional). All valence electrons were
described by Slater-type functions with basis sets of double-ξ
for the hexamer structure or triple-ξ + polarization quality
for other compounds. Core electrons were kept frozen and
described by single Slater functions (core shells by atom: O:
1s; S: 1s-2p; As: 1s-3p; Mo: 1s-3d; W: 1s-4f). We applied
scalar relativistic corrections to core electrons by means of
the zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) with the core
potentials generated using the DIRAC program. In some
calculations, the conductor-like screening model (COSMO)10 has
been applied to account for solvent effects (water, ε = 78.4).
The solvent cavity surrounding the anions was created using
the solvent-excluding method with fine tesserae. The ionic
radii for the atoms that actually define the size of the
solvent cavity were chosen to be 1.26 Å for W, 1.20 Å for Mo,
0.80 Å for As, 1.52 Å for oxygen, 1.60 for Rb and 1.84 Å for
S. All the electronic configurations are closed shell.
SI, 1.5. Syntheses.
The precursors K2[I2Mo10O10S10(OH)10(H2O)5]•20H2O11 and Na9[α-
AsW9O33].13H2O12 were prepared as described in literature and
characterized by routine methods. All chemicals were purchased
from Aldrich Chemicals and used without further purification.
Synthesis of the crude precursors. K2[I2Mo10O10(OH)10(H2O)5]
(3.42 g, 1.49 mmol) was dissolved in 18.6 mL of molar
7
hydrochloric acid. The total volume was adjusted to 100 mL
with distilled water and the resulting mixture was heated at
ca 35°C. After removing of a slight amount of a yellow cloudy
precipitate, Na9[α-AsW9O33].13H2O (10 g, 3.7 mmol) was added to
the filtrate under vigorous stirring. The resulting dark red
solution was kept at 35°C for 30 minutes before cooling in an
ice bath. The crude precursors CxNa6-x[(AsW9O33)(Mo2O2S2)1.5]•nH2O
(noted CxNa6-xP•nH2O) with C = K, Rb or Cs are obtained by
precipitation using the corresponding precipitating agent i.e
KCl, RbCl or CsCl.

SI, 2. Determination of initial conditions from combined 39K
and 183W NMR kinetic.
During the Kinetic, two processes expressed by equations 1 and
2, were involved:
HK ⇆ H + K (1)
HKx → 3D + xK (2)
The following conservative equations can be written:
xHK + xK = 1 (3) conservation of potassium
xHK + xH + 3xD = 1 (4) conservation of POM with POM = HK, H
and D species)
The experimental observations needed are :
i) The variation of the line area of the 39K :
Aobs = α AHK + β AK (5)
where α and β correspond to the observability factor for the
crypted potassium (HK species) and aqueous potassium (K
species), respectively.
Equation (5) can be derived to give the normalized line area
AN: AN = α/β xHK + xK
with 0<AN<1, 𝐴𝑁 = 𝐴𝑜𝑏𝑠𝛽𝐴𝐾
∞ and 𝛽𝐴𝐾∞ = 𝐴𝑜𝑏𝑠∞ = 33000 𝑎.𝑢.
and thereby gives equation (6) from equation (3):
AN = α/β + (1-α/β).xK (6)
The equilibrium constant is expressed from equation (1):
𝐾𝑒𝑞 =𝑥𝐻𝑥𝐾𝑥𝐻𝐾
= [𝑥𝐾 − 3𝑥𝐷]. 𝑥𝐾
1 − 𝑥𝐾
and leads to the second-order equation (7):
11
𝑥𝑘2 + �𝐾𝑒𝑞 − 3𝑥𝐷�.𝑥𝑘 − 𝐾𝑒𝑞 = 0 (7)
equation (7) produces a single physically suitable root,
expressed by equation (8)
𝑥𝑘 = 12
��−�𝐾𝑒𝑞 − 3𝑥𝐷�� + ��𝐾𝑒𝑞 − 3𝑥𝐷�2
+ 4𝐾𝑒𝑞� (8)
Equation (8) can be combined with equation (6) to lead to
equation (9):
𝐴𝑁(𝑡) = 𝛼𝛽
+ (1−𝛼/𝛽)2
. ��−�𝐾𝑒𝑞 − 3𝑥𝐷(𝑡)�� + ��𝐾𝑒𝑞 − 3𝑥𝐷(𝑡)�2
+ 4𝐾𝑒𝑞� (9)
The 𝑥𝐷(𝑡) function can be extracted from the 183W NMR kinetic
through simulation. The best fit (see Figure SIXXX) was
obtained with equation 10:
3𝑥𝐷(𝑡) = 1 − (0.03. 𝑡 + 1)−2,71 (10)
Then, the 3xD(t) function can be introduced within equation 9
such as : 𝐷(𝑡) = −�𝐾𝑒𝑞 − 3𝑥𝐷(𝑡)�, to give equation 11 :
𝐴𝑁(𝑡) = 𝛼𝛽
+ (1−𝛼/𝛽)2
. �[𝐷(𝑡)] + �𝐷(𝑡)2 + 4𝐾𝑒𝑞� (11)
Equation (11) contains two parameters α/β and Keq. The α and β
parameters corresponds to the fraction of magnetization
recovered after the spin-echo sequence and can be expressed
by:
𝛼 = 𝑒𝑥𝑝 �− 2𝜏𝑇2� = 𝑒𝑥𝑝[2𝜋𝜏∆ν𝐻𝐾] (12)
and
𝛽 = 𝑒𝑥𝑝[2𝜋𝜏∆ν𝐾]
where ∆νK and ∆νHK correspond to the intrinsic 39K NMR line width
of aqueous and crypted potassium species. Furthermore, ∆νHK can
be expressed as function of ∆ν(0), 𝑥𝑘(0) and ∆νK:
12
∆ν(0) = 𝑥𝑘(0)∆ν𝐾 + [1 − 𝑥𝐾(0)]∆ν𝐻𝐾
With ∆ν(0) = 3200Hz
And then introduced in equation 12 to produce equation 13
𝛼 = 𝑒𝑥𝑝 �2𝜋𝜏 �∆ν(0)−𝑥𝑘(0)∆ν𝐾 [1−𝑥𝐾(0)] �� (13)
The β factor can be directly estimated from the echo-delay
τ = 80 µs and ∆ν∞ = ∆νK = 200Hz. β = 0.99 ~ 1 was found.
Then, 𝑥𝑘(0) can be derived from equation 8 at t = 0 (xD(0) = 0)
to give equation 14 :
𝑥𝑘(0) = 12
�−𝐾𝑒𝑞 + �𝐾𝑒𝑞2 + 4𝐾𝑒𝑞� (14)
In definitive, the equation AN(t) depends on only a unique
parameter Keq and can be properly fitted with the experimental
values. The best fit (see Figure SIXX) was obtained for Keq =
0.1, giving with equation 13 and 14, α = 0.11 and xk(0) = 0.27

SI,3. Calculation of xk(t) versus time from the 39K NMR
parameters
The fast exchange of the potassium ion between crypted and
aqueous environments leads to averaged 39K NMR parameters 𝑌�
with Y = linewidth (∆ν1/2), signal area (A) or chemical shift
(δ) expressed as :
𝑌� = (1-xK)YHK + xKYK with YHK and YK corresponding to the NMR parameters for crypted
or aqueous 39K nucleus, respectively. YK and YHK can be
calculated from the initial and limit conditions (t→∞) and
are given in the Table S3.

From initial conditions and 39K NMR parameters listed in Table

graphically shown in Figure S3.
