Heterometallic clusters with a new {Re3Mo3S8} core: direct synthesis, properties and DFT calculations†
Abstract
We report the direct facile high-temperature synthesis and investigation of heterometallic rhenium–molybdenum cluster K6[Re3Mo3S8(CN)4(CN)2/2] (1) with a new {Re3Mo3S8} core. Dissolution of polymeric compound 1 resulted in subsequent oxidation and formation of stable 23e paramagnetic anionic cluster complex [Re3Mo3S8(CN)6]6−.
