Gh. Pan et al., Synthesis, structure and properties of tetranuclear molybdenum(I) carbonylthiolate complex with dicarboxylate bridging ligand, CHEM LETT, (11), 1998, pp. 1103-1104
A novel complex, [Bu4N](2)[{Mo-2(mu-SPh)(2)(CO)(6)}(2)(eta(2)-mu-O2C(CH2)(2
)CO2-mu-eta(2))] 1, is synthesized by the reaction of [Bu4N][Mo-2(mu-SPh)(2
)(mu-Br)(CO)(6)] and butanedioic in the present of Et3N in acetone. X-ray c
rystal structure of 1 is determined. 1 might possess an electrochemistry ch
aracter of four-electron reduction in a single step.
