The design and synthesis of molecular-based materials displaying single-molecule magnet (SMM) property is currently a subject of worldwide research activity. A common strategy is the use of organic multi-dentate O-donor and/or N-donor ligands to assemble various spin carriers into simple complexes or polynuclear clusters so as to satisfy the essential necessaries of a SMM combing with large spin (S) and negative uniaxial anisotropy (D). It is interesting that polyoxometalates (POMs) have recently been developed as a new type of inorganic building blocks for the preparation of SMMs. Generally, POMs are one type of unique inorganic nanoscale clusters with oxygen-rich surfaces, controllable size, shape and charge as well as a series of lacunary structural species, which tend to combine various transition metal (TM) and/or lanthanide (Ln) ions into giant clusters or aggregates. In last five years, a number of {TMn}-, {Lnn}-, and {TMxLny}-based SMMs by the use of POM ligands were reported. Especially, some POMs can also provide an ideal ligand field for Ln ions so as to obtain new type of single-ion magnets (SIMs), which has marked a new impetus in this area. Furthermore, the hybrid POM materials behaving as SMMs have been prepared by dispersing high-spin anisotropic units (like SMMs) into the porous anionic POM-based structures. A recent advance has also focused on the construction of POM-templated polynuclear clusters with SMM properties. In this review, we will give an overall perspective of the present POM-mediated SMMs with the emphasis on the synthetic strategies, the roles and advantages of POMs in the preparation of SMMs as well as the new prospect of this research field in the near future.
