摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) The metal oxide clusters [W3O 9]- and [Mo3O9]- were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, which show that [W3O9] and [Mo3O9] both have a D3h structure with a low-lying unoccupied molecular orbital formed from the metal d orbitals. Occupation of this orbital by one or two electrons leads to aromatic anions (see picture) with strong three-center, one-electron and three-center, two-electron metal-metal bonds, respectively. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
