The Mechanism Governing the Formation of Intermolecular Charge Transfer Bands: a Series of Polyoxomolybdates As a Case Study

A series of proof-of-concept models of polyoxomolybdates with different protonated disubstituted aniline counterions and the same β-MoO polyanion were synthesized to study the mechanism governing the formation of the intermolecular charge transfer (inter-CT) band.
