Abstract

Four hexanuclear molybdenum chloride cluster complexes containing terminal thiolate ligands have been synthesized and fully characterized. (Bu ₄N)₂[Mo₆Cl₈(SEt)₆] was prepared by reacting Na₂[Mo₆Cl₈(OMe) ₆] with an excess of ethanethiol in refluxing tetrahydrofuran. (PPN)₂[Mo₆Cl₈(SBu)₆], (Bu ₄N)₂[Mo₆Cl₆(SBn)₆], and (Bu₄N)₂[Mo₆Cl₈(SNC₈H ₆)₆] (C₈H₆NS^- = 3-indolylthiolate) were subsequently prepared in the reaction of [Mo ₆Cl₈(SEt)₆]^2- with an excess of HSR (R = Bu, Bn or 3-indolyl). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses were performed on two of these complexes: (PPN)₂[Mo₆Cl ₈(SEt)₆]·Et₂O, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 12.3894(11), b = 13.7651(12), c = 15.0974(13), α= 103.975(2), β = 99.690(2), γ = 98.062(2), and Z = 1; (PPh₃Me)₂[Mo₆Cl₈(SBn) ₆]·2NO₂CH₃, also crystallizes in the P1 space group with a = 12.1574(16), b = 13.4441(17), c = 14.2132(18), α = 89.654(2), β = 88.365(2), γ = 71.179(2), and Z= 1. Our studies demonstrate that [Mo₆Cl₈(SEt)₆]^2- displays luminescent properties and that the same complex undergoes substitution reactions with different thiols, as well as reaction with electrophilic reagents such as Mel.
