Abstract

The complex (Ph4P)2[Mo2S2O2(S2)(S4)] reacts with CuBr to give the dodecanuclear heterobimetallic Mo—Cu—S cage cluster: (Ph4P)2[{Mo2Cu2O2S2(S2)2}3(μ6-S)] (1), which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1¯, a = 14.445(5), b = 15.396(5), c = 18.858(5) Å, α = 103.12(3), β = 101.93(2), γ = 113.92(3)°, and V = 3517(2) Å3 for Z = 2. The anion 1 can be described as a cage with S2− at the center binding to six Cu atoms; the cage has two big windows each composed of a puckered Cu3S6 9-membered ring.
