Abstract: A rare tetradecanuclear polyoxofluorovanadate cluster with 1-methylimidazole (L), containing mixed-valence[V14O36F2L2]6- anion, was synthesized and characterized crystallographically. The anion is composed of a special 0D cluster-like skeleton frame, i.e. the ring-shaped[V10O20] ladder, two grafted VO5F and VO3L fragments around the ladder. The density functional theory (DFT) and bond valence sum calculations indicate that the V ion in two grafted VO5F fragments are +4 oxidation state, while other V ions are +5 oxidation state. The frontier orbital analysis shows that the[V14O36F2L2]6- anion, should be chemically active in d orbital of grafted VO5F fragments, while its 2e oxidation species, the[V14O36F2L2]4- anion should be chemically active in the terminal V=O (d-p) π orbital of grafted VO3L fragments. The 2e introduction from[V14O36F2L2]4- to[V14O36F2L2]6- anion leads to the increasing structural stability of the[V10O20] ladder, and at the same time the increasing chemical activity of the grafted VO5F and VO3L fragments, together with a great decrease of energy gap from 1.59 to 0.53 eV.
