Abstract: | Herein, the geometry, electronic structure, Fe–ligand bonding nature and simulated IR spectrum of α-Keggin, lacunary Keggin, iron(ii/iii)-substituted and the important oxidized high-valent iron derivatives of Keggin type polyoxometalates have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT/OPTX-PBE) method and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The effects of different Fe oxidation states (ii–vi) and H2O/OH−/O2− ligand interactions have been addressed concerning their geometry and electronic structures. It has been revealed that the d-atomic orbitals of Fe and 2p orbitals of polyoxometalate''s oxygen-atoms contribute in ligand binding. Compared with other high valent species, the considered polyoxometalate system of PW11O39(FeVO)]4−, possesses a high reactivity for oxygen transfer.Herein, the geometry, electronic structure, Fe–ligand bonding nature and simulated IR spectrum of α-Keggin, lacunary Keggin and iron(ii–vi)-substituted Keggin type polyoxometalates have been studied using the DFT/OPTX-PBE method and NBO analysis. |
