Metastable states associated with a change in the metal–metal bonding network of (MoV)6 polyoxoanions: a DFT study of [(Mo2VO4)3(μ6-CO3)(μ-CO3)3(μ-OH)3]5−†
Abstract
DFT calculations carried out on the recently characterized cluster ion [(Mo2VO4)3(μ6-CO3)(μ-CO3)3(μ-OH)3]5−
(1) confirm the existence of three Mo–Mo bonds localized across the
