Abstract

You'll never walk alone: An auto-healing process of the first host-guest complex involving a polyoxometalate hybrid and a cyclodextrin is reported. Indeed, this inclusion complex allows the complete restoration of the anchored organic moiety released by a basic stress, a process otherwise not fully reversible.
