Abstract: The polyoxometalate α-[SiW12O40]4-with the Keggin structure was fully optimized by the ab initio Hartree-Fock method.The optimized geometry parameters of the title compound agree with experimental values.Based on such calculations, the single excited configuration interaction (CIS) method was performed to calculate the excited states related to absorptions.The absorption maximum was calculated at 232nm by using the CIS method and assigned as Od→W and Oc→W charge transfer transition, comparable to the 260nm absorption of α-H4SiW12O40in the experiment.The calculations showed that the distortion of WO6unit can stabilize the whole molecule and the SiO4unit has the quasi-tetrahedral structure.The four W3O13units in the heteropolyacid can possess 3-4 negative charges, which theoretically reveals why the unit with more electrons in the anion is still stable.
