A series of NO-bound, iron-functionalized polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (FePOV-alkoxide) clusters have been synthesized, providing insight into the role of multimetallic constructs in the coordination and activation of a substrate. Upon exposure of the heterometallic cluster to NO, the vanadium-oxide metalloligand is oxidized
