Abstract

Two new compounds containing molybdenum thiocyanide cluster anions, K6[Mo4S4(CN)12]·10H2O (1) and (18-crown-6K)8[Mo6S6(CN)16]·17.5H2O (2), were synthesized and investigated by X-ray structure analysis. Crystal data: a=11.8430(17), b=11.8430(17), c=35.170(7) Å, V=4932.8(14) Å3, space group I41/a, Z=4, dcalc=1.563 g/cm3 for 1; a=28.7513(5), b=18.4190(3), c=20.7586(4) Å, β=118.5982(7)°, V=9651.9(3) Å3, space group C2/m, Z=4, dcalc =1.563 g/cm3 for 2. The [Mo4S4(CN)12]6- cluster anion in 1 has an ordinary structure typical of cubane transition metal complexes. In the structure of the [Mo6S6(CN)16]8- anion of 2, two crystallographically independent molybdenum atoms form a Mo6 metallocluster, represented as two edge-sharing tetrahedra.
