Popis: SCCC-EH MO calculations on MoO4—nSn2− (n = 0–4) and WX42− (X = O, S) have been carried out. On the basis of the calculations, experimental, and empirical observations, the electronic spectra of the oxothiometalates MO4—nSn2− (M = Mo, W; n = 0–4) can be assigned almost completely in terms of different types of L → M charge transfer transitions. The calculations explain the bond strength relations n(MO) > n(MS) and n(WX) > n(MoX) and also other chemical and physical properties of these species (stronger σ-bonding for MW, stronger π-bonding for XO) as well as the extraordinary electronic properties of the species MO4—nSn2− (n = 2, 3, 4) which are strong electron acceptor ligands towards additional metal centres. A new parameter set for SCCC-EH calculations on 5d transition metal complexes is given. The assignment for MoS 42− is supported by an analysis of the spectrum of [NCCu(MoS4)]2−.
