Abstract

Two isostructural crown-like heteroselenometallic cluster compounds, [Et4N]4[(μ5-WSe4)(CuX)5(μ-X)2] (X = Cl 1, Br 2), were prepared from the reactions of [Et4N]2[WSe4] with CuX and [Et4N]X· xH2O in the presence of 2-picoline and characterized by single-crystal diffraction analysis. The [(μ5-WSe4)(Cu-X)5(μ-X)2]4− anions in the cluster compounds consists of five CuX fragments coordinated to the five edges of the tetrahedral [WSe4]2− moiety along with two bridging halides connected to each of the two pairs of the symmetric copper atoms, exhibiting a novel crown-like core structure. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of cluster compound 2 were determined to be α2  =  6.15  ×  10−10 m/W and n 2  =  4.18  ×  10−11 esu, respectively.
