Abstract
A trinuclear molybdenum chloro sulfide cluster complex [Mo3S4Cl4(C5H5N )(5)] (1) was synthesized by the excision of a nonmolecular cluster co mpound Mo3S7Cl4 with triphenylphosphine and pyridine. Three molybdenum atoms and four sulfur atoms form an incomplete cubane-type cluster co re, which is coordinated by four chloro and five pyridine ligands. By the reaction of 1 with I-2 in pyridine, [Mo3S4Cl3(C5H5N)(6)]I (2) was synthesized. Three mu-S in the cluster cation and the iodine anion hav e short contacts, within the sum of the van der Waals radii of sulfur and iodine.
