Trinuclear Mo3S7 clusters coordinated to dithiolate or diselenolate ligands and their use in the preparation of magnetic single component molecular conductors.
A general route for the preparation of a series of dianionic Mo3S7 cluster complexes bearing dithiolate or diselenolate ligands, namely, [Mo3S7L3](2-) (where L = tfd (bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dithiolate) (4(2-)), bdt (1,2-benzenedithiolate) (5(2-)), dmid (1,3-dithia-2-one-4,5-dithiolate) (6(2-)), and dsit (1,3-dithia-2-thione-4,5-diselenolate) (7(2-))) is reported by direct reaction of [Mo3S7Br6](2-) and (n-Bu)2Sn(dithiolate). The redox properties, molecular structure, and electronic structure (BP86/VTZP) of the 4(2-) to 7(2-) clusters have also been investigated. The HOMO orbital in all complexes is delocalized over the ligand and the Mo3S7 cluster core. Ligand contributions to the HOMO ra…
Halogen bonding interactions with the [Mo3S7Cl6]2-cluster anion in the mixed valence salt [EDT-TTFI2]4[Mo3S7Cl6]oCH3CN
Electrocrystallization of iodinated TTF molecules in presence of trinuclear [Mo3S7Cl6]2- cluster anions provides the first example of radical salts with halogen bonding interactions at the organic/inorganic interface
Structural diversity in charge transfer salts based on Mo3S7 and Mo3S4Se3 clusters complexes and bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET)
Chemical modification of the trinuclear [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-S2)3Br6]2− cluster, at either the outer bromine or the disulfide ligands, allows the facile preparation of the dianions [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-S2)3(tdas)3]2− ([1]2−) (tdas = 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-dithiol), [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-SSe)3Br6]2− ([2]2−) and [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-S2)3Cl6]2− ([3]2−). Electrocrystallization of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) in the presence of these dianions affords a series of charge transfer salts, namely (ETA)(ETB)[1], (ETA)(n-Bu4N)[2], (ETA)(ETB)[3]2·CH3CN, and ((ETA)(ETB)(ETC)(ETD))2{[3]2Cl}·CH3CN, where the ET subscripts denote crystallographically independent molecules. In all cases, the various cluster–cluster, cluster…
Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of Multicomponent Bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene Charge-Transfer Salts of the [Mo3S7Br6]2- Cluster
A new family of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) radical salts has been prepared in the presence of a triangular molybdenum sulfide cluster of formula [Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] 2 - , which contains highly electrophilic axialsulfur atoms. A systematic change in the experimental conditions yields five different salts, namely (ETA)2(ET B )[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] 2 . CH 2 Br 2 (1), (ETA)(ET B )Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ].1.1CH 2 Br 2 (2), (ETA)(ETB)(ET C ){[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ]Br}.0.5C 2 H 4 Cl 2 (3), (ET)((n-Bu 4 )N)-[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] (4), and (ET)(Ph4P)[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ].0.5CH 3 CN (5), where the ET subscript denotes crystallographically independent molecules. The five compounds have been structurally characterized, a…
