Abstract

A potassium-crownether host–guest cation-templated synthetic method was used to build a heterothiometallic Mo/S/Cu cluster {[(K ⊂ dibenzo-18-crown-6)(NMP)2]2[(K ⊂ dibenzo-18-crown-6)(NMP)]2[Mo8S32Cu12]·H2O} (1). 1 was structurally determined by X-ray single crystal and powder diffractions. The anionic Mo/S/Cu cluster [Mo8S32Cu12]4− exhibits a unique octameric eicosanuclear supra-cubane-like architecture. Potassium-crownether cations show “satellite-receiver”-shaped and hexagonal-pyramidal configurations. Moreover, the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) property was studied through Z-scan method (532 nm, 4 ns pulses), which reveals that 1 possesses effective NLO absorptive and refractive properties.
