Polyoxometalates are key materials for energy conversion and storage due to their unique chemical tunability and electrochemical reactivity. Herein, we report that functionalization of molecular vanadium oxides, polyoxovanadates, with redox-inert Ca2+cations leads to a significant increase in their electron storage capabilities. The electrochemical performance of the Ca2+-functionalized dodecavanadate [Ca2V12O32Cl(DMF)3]2−(={Ca2V12}) was thus compared with that of the precursor compound (H2NMe2)2[V12O32Cl]3−(={V12}).{Ca2V12}can store up to five electrons per cluster, while{V12}only shows one reversible redox transition. In initial studies, we demonstrated that{Ca2V12}can be used as an active material in lithium-ion cathodes. Our results show how redox-inert cations can be used as structural and electrostatic stabilizers, leading to major changes in the redox-chemistry of polyoxovanadates.
