Abstract
New theoretical investigations using density functional theory calcula tions on condensed molybdenum chalcogenide cluster compounds A(n-2)Mo( 3n)X(3n+2) (A = alkali metal) suggest that it should be possible to re duce them with several electrons without changing their structural arr angement. Experimental work on several examples such as Cs2Mo12Se14 co nfirms these conclusions. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
