Electronic Structure of Cubane-Like Vanadium–Nitrogen Cationic Clusters [V4N4]+ and [V6N6]+

“…Prominent peaks in the mass spectrum were assigned to [V 3 N 6 ] + led Hirabayashi and Ichihashi to propose structures based on cubane-like architectures, which represent fragments of the rock-salt lattice of the parent nitride-VN. Cubane-like motifs are, in fact, relatively common in gas-phase clusters of binary compounds of the alkali and alkaline earth metals and can be viewed as intermediate stages in the crystal growth process [15][16][17]. (NaCl) x clusters, for example, have been shown to adopt rock-salt motifs [18], as have a range of alkaline earth metal-oxide clusters, such as [M 2+ (M = Ca, Mg).…”
