The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The synthesis and characteristic properties of a Mo/Ag/Rb heterotrimetallic cluster by a self-assembly reaction, were analyzed. The thioanions of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) have been used to prepare a structurally diverse range of heterometallic sulfide clusters. It was observed that a series of heterobimetallic dodecanuclear single cage-like clusters can be isolated from the reactions of [Et4N]2 [M2O2S 2edt2], where M = Mo and W. The results show that arrays of metal-sulfur clusters, linked through metal-crown ether complexes, can be formed, introduces a method for synthesizing a new type of metal-sulfur-based clusters under mild conditions.
