A type of molecular symmetry breaking or unusual stepwise molecular growth processes, exemplified below, lead to the cluster anions [H14Mo37O112]14− and [H3Mo63V6(NO)6O195(H2O)12]21−. The processes have model characteristics for the metal release and uptake of metal storage proteins in biological systems.
