Graphical Abstract

The distribution of the oxygen atoms varies in the two isomers of the [Nb6Cl9O3(CN)6]5− ion found in the title compounds (both isomers are shown). This difference in the inner ligand sphere in turn leads to variations in the structure and physical properties of the cluster oxyhalides.
