Abstract:
Lanthanide-containing polyoxometalate (POM) is one of the presently most active groups as the properties of POM can be modified by incorporated transition metal ions. There are several reported transition metal ion contained POMs such as one Ln ion-POM with Keggin POM frameworks and a novel sandwich"-type, which consists of two open Wells-Dawson anions and three Ln ions [1-3]. In this data article, UV-vis spectra and FTIR spectra as well as the elemental analysis are shown for prepared β-K7H8[Er3O3(SiW9O34)2]·25H2O and β-K12H5[Sm3O3(SiW9O34)2]·18H2O, these results are intended to provide support for lanthanide-containing POM due to the lack of information on lanthanide-containing POM. The UV-vis spectra and FTIR spectra as well as the elemental analysis are shown for prepared β-K7H8[Er3O3(SiW9O34)2]·25H2O and β-K12H5[Sm3O3(SiW9O34)2]·18H2O were not reported in the article [4] are given. The data is related to the research article "Enhancing Electrofluorochromic Efficiency through -Sensitized Layer-by-layer Polyoxometalate Films" [4].

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
