Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a group of inorganic, anionic molecular metal oxides.

==Formation== The oxides of d0 metals such as , , dissolve at high pH to give orthometalates, , , . For and . The nature of the dissolved species at high pH is less defined, but these oxides also form polyoxometalates.
