On the Origin of Alternating Bond Distortions and the Emergence of Chirality in Polyoxometalate Anions.

Alternating short and long bond length (ABL) distortions observed within the ring structures of molecular metal oxide anions or polyoxometalates (POMs) are reminiscent of the cooperative linear ABL distortions in perovskite d; metal oxides. We show herein that these distortions have a common origin:...
