Small but influential: Chirality transfer from a small chiral organic unit (D- or L-tartrate) to very large metal–oxide framework is demonstrated by the enantiomerically pure, nonracemizing polytungstates d- L-1 (see picture, central part shown in polyhedral form; purple Zr, gray W, blue P, black C, red O). The tartrate determines absolute configuration of inorganic moiety, offering new method control chirality polyoxoanions.
