按照团簇的氧化指数,对钒氧化物团簇VxOy^q(x≤8,q=0,±1)进行了分类(钒氧化物的氧化指数△=2y+q-5x).密度泛函理论计算结果表明,氧化指数相同的团簇倾向于具有相似的成键方式、电子结构和反应活性.根据这一规律,提出了V2O6和V3O6+新的可能的基态构型.在钒氧化物体系上的成功应用,表明这种分类方法可以有效地应用于研究前过渡金属氧化物团簇的成键性质.
Vanadium oxide clusters VxOy^q(x≤8, q=0, ±1) are classified according to the oxidation index (△=2y+q-5x) of each cluster. Density functional calculations indicate that clusters with the same oxidation index tend to have similar bonding characters, electronic structures, and reactivities. This general rule leads to the findings of new possible ground state struc- tures for V206 and V3O6+ clusters. This successful application of the classification method on vanadium oxide clusters proves that this method is very effective in studying the bonding properties of early transition metal oxide clusters.
