Reaction of WOCl₄ with p-MeC₆H₄N(SiMe₃)₂ and then bipy gives [W(NC₆H₄Me-p)₂Cl₂(bipy)] and [W(O)(NC₆H₄Me-p)Cl₂(bipy)]; [W(NPh)Cl₄]₂ reacts with p-MeC₆H₄N(SiMe₃)₂ and then bipy to give [W(NPh)(NC₆H₄Me-p)Cl₂(bipy)]. [W(NCMe₃)(μ-NPh)Cl₂(NH₂CMe₃)]₂ and bipy give [W(NCMe₃)(NPh)Cl₂(bipy)] (6). ReOCl₄ reacts with PhNCO to give [Re(NPh)Cl₄]_x which in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or MeCN give the adducts [Re(NPh)Cl₄(THF)] and [Re(NPh)Cl₄(MeCN)]. [Re(NPh)Cl₄]_x reacts with Me₄NCl to give [Me₄N][Re(NPh)Cl₅], with PPh₃ to give [Re(NPh)Cl₃(PPh₃)₂] and with Me₃ SiNHCMe₃ gives [Re(NPh)Cl₃(NH₂CMe₃)₂] (12).

Both structures were solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined to R values of 0.053 for the 2138 observed data for (6) and 0.035 for the 1108 observed data for (12).

[MoAu₂S₄(PPh₂Py)₂] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 18.385(2), b =12.304(1), c = 16.904(2) Å, β =110.722(2)°, and Z = 4. [WAu₂S₄(PPh₂Py)₂] crystallizes in the triclinic space group P‐1 with a = 9.333 (3), b = 10.628(3), c = 19.566(6) Å, α = 89.26(1), β = 80.87(1), γ = 68.85(1)°, and Z = 2.

The Mo (W) atom has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination, and the two Au atoms are distorted from trigonal planar, the P—Au—M—Au—P chain is nearly linear. Measurement of the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties using the Z‐scan technique with an 8‐ns pulsed laser at 532 nm showed that 1 and 2 possess NLO absorption and effective self‐focusing effect. The effective α₂ and n₂ values of cluster 1 are 5.89 × 10^—12 m · W^—1 and 6.45 × 10^—18 m² · W^—1; the effective α₂ and n₂ values of compound 2 are 4.35 × 10^—11 m · W^—1 and 3.73 × 10^—17 m² · W^—1.
