| Abstract | The redox and acidic properties of α-Keggin anions [PW11O39ME]4− (M = Nb, Ta; E = O, S, Se) have been investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated results for the studied clusters are consistent with the hypothesis that the substitution of one O atom by S or Se atoms in polyoxometalates (POMs) modifies the relative energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, inducing slight changes in the redox properties of POMs. The electronic structures and reduction energies of [PW11O39ME]4− (M = Nb, Ta; E = O, S, Se) confirm that the substitution of one O atom by S and Se atoms in POMs enhances the redox properties, which is in good agreement with the cyclic voltammetry characterization of α-[PW11NbO40]4− and α-[PW11NbSO39]4−. The bonding energies for adding the first proton to the anions and for ammonia coordination to the protonated α-[PW11O39NbE]4− (E = O, S, Se) were simulated to study the basicity of external oxygen sites and the acidity. The results show that the protonation energy becomes more positive after substitution by S and Se, indicating that the substitution enhances the acidity of POMs. The adsorption energy of ammonia in the case of α-[PW11O39NbE]4− (E = S, Se) is more negative than that of α-[PW11O40NbO]4−, which also provides the same result as mentioned above. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
