Abstract

The addition of ligand O affects the charge distribution of the metal centers in VnO+ (n = 1−9) cluster cations, resulting in a significant increase in the cluster reactivity. The agostic interaction determines the size-dependent reactivity of VnO+ cluster cations. This study provides a novel approach for improving the reactivity of early 3d transition metals.
