Reaction of the incomplete cubane-type cluster [Mo3S4(H2O)(9)](4+) (A)
With iron gives a novel cubane-type aqua cluster [Mo3FeS4(H2O)(10)](C
H3C6H4SO'(3))(4) . 7H(2)O (B'). An ammonia coordinated derivative clus
ter [Mo3FeS4(H2O)(NH3)9]Cl-4 (C') is also synthesized. X-ray structura
l analyses of B' and C' revealed that the clusters, [Mo3FeS4(H2O)(10)]
(4+) (B) and [Mo3FeS4(H2O)(NH3)(9)](4+) (C), have an approximate symme
try of C-3 upsilon. The iron atom has fairly regular tetrahedral geome
try in both clusters. The effective magnetic moments of B' at 2.16 K a
nd 269.95 K are 2.78 and 3.26 B,M., respectively. Fe-57-Mossbauer spec
troscopy showed that the oxidation states of iron in B' and C' were as
signable to be +2.39 and +2.54, respectively, which indicates that the
reaction is a reductive addition of an iron atom to the Mo3S4 core in
A. The cyclic voltammograms of A, B, and [Mo3NiS4(H2O)(10)](4+) (D) s
how three consecutive one electron reductive steps, respectively, and
the oxidation states of metals in B and D are assigned as (MoMo2MnII)-
Mo-IV-Mn-III (M=Fe, Ni). Discrete variational (DV)-X alpha calculation
of B, C, and D explains the magnetic behavior, XPS spectra, and react
ivity toward CO, C2H2, and C2H4.
