First-Principles Study of Structural, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Metal-Centered Tetrahexahedral V15? Cluster.


ABSTRACT: The V-centered bicapped hexagonal antiprism structure (A), as the most stable geometry of the cationic V15? cluster, is determined by using infrared multiple photo dissociation (IR-MPD) in combination with density functional theory computations. It is found that the A structure can be stabilized by 18 delocalized 3c-2e ?-bonds on outer V? triangles of the bicapped hexagonal antiprism surface and 12 delocalized 4c-2e ?-bonds on inner trigonal pyramidal V? moiety, and the features are related to the strong p-d hybridization of the cluster. The total magnetic moments on the cluster are predicted to be 2.0 µB, which come mainly from the central vanadium atom.
