Abstract

The prismane cluster [Cu4Mo2S6][(C6H5)3P]2(C6H7N)2O2· 2C6H7N has been prepared by the reaction of [NH4]2MoO2S2with CuBr and PPh3in 2-picoline. Its molecular structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2I/n with a = 12.149(2), b = 17.152(2), c = 15.793(2)Å, β = 105.40(2)°, and Z = 2. The X-ray structure (R; Ru= 0.046; 0.048) revealed a 12-atom Cu4Mo2S6prismane which can be envisaged as consisting of two MoOS3units connected on adjacent edges by two different groups, [C6H7NCu] and [(C6H5)3PCu].
