Structural parameters and vibrational frequencies of the clusters (T_d)–Nb₄O₁₀, (C_3v)-TaNb₃O₁₀, (D_2d)-Nb₄O₁₀ ^–, and (C_s)-TaNb₃O₁₀ ^– were calculated. According to the (U)DFT/SDD calculations with BLYP, B3LYP, and PBE0 functionals magnetization of the anion (D_2d)-Nb₄O₁₀ ^– is distributed equally among four niobium atoms. In the anion (C_s)-TaNb₃O₁₀ ^– unpaired electron presumably occupies niobium atoms. The distinction in contributions from Nb atoms in the magnetization of the tantalum-containing cluster grows with the exchange component of the DFT functional in the series of functionals BLYP < B3LYP < PBE0 < UHF.
