Abstract

The molecular and electronic structure of the spherical Keplerates [{(Mo-VI)(Mo5O21)-O-VI}(12)((Mo2O4)-O-V)(30)](12-)(Mo-132) and [{(W-VI)(W5O21)-O-VI}(12)((Mo2O4)-O-V)(30)](12-) (W72Mo60) has been determined, for the first time, using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) based methods including solvent effects. Computed geometric parameters are in very good agreement with X-ray data, whereas the electronic structure reveals
