A. Muller et al., [MO3(IV)S(S2)6]2- FROM AMORPHOUS MOS3 BY THE REACTION WITH OH- AND R = 0.015 STRUCTURE OF (NH4)2[MO3(IV)S(S2)6].H2O, European journal of solid state and inorganic chemistry, 30(5), 1993, pp. 565-572
A refined crystal structure determination (R=0.015) of (NH4)2 [Mo3S13]
. H2O including H-atom positions of the NH4+ ions is reported. The fo
rmation of the cluster anion [Mo3S13]2- from amorphous MoS3, suspended
in O2- free aqueous ammonia solution at room temperature, is describe
d. This observation is discussed in terms of triangular sulfide and di
sulfide bridged Mo3 units regarded as structural features in the amorp
hous educt.
