Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are widely used complexes in catalytic reactions owing to their redox properties. We have carried out a theoretical study of these molecules using density functional theory (DFT) in the gas phase and in solution. We focused our investigation on geometrical parameters, global and local reactivity descriptors, and redox and thermodynamic properties. The aim of this study is to determine the most reactive site within the POM and to define the most reactive POM among the nine proposed structures. The present work shows that the global reactivity descriptors and Fukui function for electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks have a higher correlation with the fragments constituting the POM; furthermore, the solvent effect is very noticeable in the evaluation of the different properties.
