A relative molar mass of 40 000 and diameter of 4 nm are the remarkable dimensions of the title anion, which is, together with its LaIII analogues, the most massive inorganic water-soluble cluster so far observed (see picture on the right). These polyanions with 164 metal atoms are easily synthesized in fair yield. The folded cyclic structure incorporates twelve AsW9O33 and four W5O18 anionic subunits.
