Xf. Yu et al., SYNTHESIS IN SOLID-STATE, STRUCTURAL REGULARITY AND REACTION-MECHANISM FOR [VS4-CU-N] CLUSTERS, Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 39(4), 1996, pp. 433-438
The reaction system (NH4)(3)VS4/CuCl/PPh(3)/Et(4)NBr afforded a series
of [VS4-Cu-n] clusters with various core configurations in the solid
state at low heating temperature. The structural regularity of [VS4-Cu
-n] clusters and the influence of the CuCL:(NH4)(3)VS4 ratio as well a
s that of reaction temperature and time on the formation of cluster co
re have been summarized. The reaction mechanism of forming V-Cu-S clus
ters has also been explored.
