The synthesis and characterisation of two novel heterometallic trinuclear incomplete cubane-like clusters [Et4N](M2AgS4)(S2C2H4)2(PPh3)·CH2Cl2(M = Mo, W)
Abstract
Two new members of the heterometallic trinuclear incomplete cubane-like cluster family, with the core [M2AgS4]3+(M = Mo, W), were synthesized and characterised; the Mo–Mo [W–W] bond was found to be 2.881(4)[2.874(1)]Å and two Mo–Ag [W–Ag] non-bonding distances 3.010(4) and 3.117(4)[3.112(2), 3.055(2)]Å.
