A colorless polynuclear heterometallic yttrium(III)-copper(I) iodide cluster [Y-6(mu(6)-O)(mu(3)-OH)(8)(DMSO)(16)(H2O)(2)](8+) [Cu2I4](2-) 6[I](-) (1), isolated in a moderate yield from the hydrolytic reaction of [Y(DMSO)(6)(DMF)(2)][CuI3][I] in acetonitrile, undergoes unique crystal-to-crystal transformation to give reddish-yellow cluster [Y-6(mu(6)-O)(mu(3)-OH)(8)(DMSO)(14)(H2O)(4)](8+) 2[CuI3](2-) 3[I](-) [I-3](-) (2).
