X-Ray structure of the hexa(µ2-arenethiolato-)tetra(arenethiolato)tetracobaltate(II) dianion, [(CoSPh)4(µ2-SPh)6]2–, a new tetrahedral tetracobalt thiolate cluster
Abstract
The unique molecular cluster complex [(CoSPh)4(µ2-SPh)6]2–(Me4N+ cation) contains an approximately Td Co4S10 core, the clustering of four tetrahedral {CoII-(µ2-SPh)3(SPh)} co-ordination units being a consequence of ligand bridging, not metal–metal bonding.
