First-Principles Study of Structural, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Metal-Centered Tetrahexahedral V15+ Cluster

The V-centered bicapped hexagonal antiprism structure (A), as the most stable geometry of the cationic V15+ cluster, is determined by using infrared multiple photo dissociation (IR-MPD) in combination with density functional theory computations. It is found that the A structure can be stabilized by...
