description

The electron precise incomplete cuboidal complex [Mo(3)S(4)(dppe)(3)Br(3)]Br (1a) with 6 cluster skeletal electrons (CSE) and its halogen-mixed analogue [Mo(3)S(4)(dppe)(3)(Br,Cl)(3)](Br,Cl) (1b) can be smoothly reduced to the paramagnetic [Mo(3)S(4)(dppe)(3)X(3)] clusters (2a, X = Br; 2b, X = Cl/Br) with 7 CSE by treatment with liquid Ga.
