Summary

[MoCu3S3Br(SCH2CH2S)(PPh3)3]·MeCN, MW=1382.78, space group Pl, has the triclinic cell parametersa=12.272(11),b=13.172(7),c=20.363(3)Å, α=106.26(3)o, β=95.64(5)o, γ=65.79(6)o; Z=2, V=2881.4Å3. Dc=1.55 g cm−3. MoKα radiation. λ=0.71073Å, μ=22.8 cm−1. F(000)=1348. R=0.69 for 4964 observed unique reflections [I>3σ(I)]. There are some distortions in the cubane-like MoCu3S3Br core, with three form Mo−Cu bonds. The Mo atom is bound by chelating SCH2CH2S and three μ3-S atoms.
