Abstract

A high resolution X-ray diffraction study has been carried out on [(C₄H₉)₄N]₂ [V₆O₁₃{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OCCH₂CH₃}₂] (V6-C3) at 100 K. The V6 core possesses a negative charge, leading to a strong polarization of the anion. A nucleophilic region localized near the organic moiety and an electrophilic region in the vicinity of the V6 core provide an overall description of charge-transfer behavior.
