TLDR
In this paper, the electronic and molecular structures of well-defined W(VI) bulk mixed oxide reference compounds consisting of isolated WO4 or WO6 monomers, dimeric O3W−O−WO3, polymeric chain of alternating WO 4/WO6 units, and WO 6-coordinated W9−W18 clusters were examined.
Abstract
Combined UV−vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and Raman spectroscopy were applied to examine the electronic and molecular structures, respectively, of well-defined W(VI) bulk mixed oxide reference compounds consisting of (i) isolated WO4 or WO6 monomers, (ii) dimeric O3W−O−WO3, (iii) polymeric chain of alternating WO4/WO6 units, and (iv) WO6-coordinated W9−W18 clusters. Raman spectroscopy was employed to confirm the identity and phase purity of the different tungsten oxide structures. UV−vis DRS provided the corresponding electronic edge energy (Eg) of the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions of the W(VI) cations. A correlation between the edge energy and the number of covalent bridging W−O−W bonds around the central W(VI) cation was found with Eg linearly decreasing with increasing number of bridging W−O−W bonds. However, a direct relationship between Eg and the domain size, NW, for finite WOx clusters does not exist. Subsequently, UV−vis and Raman spectroscopy information were app...
