J. Mestres et al., AB-INITIO THEORETICAL-STUDY ON GEOMETRIES, CHEMICAL BONDING, AND INFRARED AND ELECTRONIC-SPECTRA OF THE M2O72- (M = CR, MO, W) ANIONS, Inorganic chemistry, 32(22), 1993, pp. 4708-4713
An ab initio SCF theoretical study has been carried out on the optimiz
ed geometries, atomic populations, electron densities, and infrared/el
ectronic spectra of the M2O72- anions (M = Cr, Mo, W) using various ba
sis sets of different quality. The results concerning geometrical arra
ngements and electron densities are analyzed and rationalized, and the
most important bands of infrared and electronic spectra are assigned
and compared with experiment. Theoretical results are in fair agreemen
t with experimental data, when available, and serve as predictions oth
erwise.
