The preparation and physical properties of the new heterotrinuclear acetates, [Ru₂CO(μ₃-O)(μ-CH₃CO₂)₆(Py)₃] (Ru₂Co(II)) and [Ru₂Co(μ₃-O)(μ-CH₃CO₂)₆(Py)₃)l₃ (Ru₂Co(III), Py = pyridine), are reported. Three reversible one-electron-redox waves are observed at 1.19, 0.40, and ?1.24 V vs Ag/Ag⁺ electrode for Ru₂Co(lI) in CH₂Cl₂. The complexes of Ru₂Co(II) and Ru₂Co(III) show an intense visible absorption at 570 (? 5950 M^?1 cm^?1) and 551 nm (? 7240 M^?1 cm^?1), respectively. The magnetic susceptibilities of both complexes were also measured from 4.2 to 300 K. The resulting least-squares fit parameters for Ru₂Co(II) areJ_RuCo = ?9 cm^?1, J_RuRu = ?22 cm^?1, g_Co, = g_Ru= 2.19.     

Thiochloroanionen von Molybdän(IV). Die Kristallstruktur von (NEt4)3[Mo3(μ3-S)(μ-S2)3Cl6]Cl · CH2Cl2 Kristallstruktur,EPR-Spektrum und magnetische Eigenschaften von (NEt4)2[Mo2(μ-S2)(μ-Cl)2Cl6]

Thiochloro Anions of Molybdenum (IV). Crystal Structure of (NEt₄)₃[Mo₃(μ₃-S)(μ-S₂)₃Cl₆]Cl μ CH₂Cl₂. Crystal Structure, Magnetic Properties, and EPR-Spectrum of (NEt₄)₂ [Mo₂(μ-S₂)(μ-Cl)₂Cl₆] From molybdenum pentachloride and tetraethylammonium hydrogensulfide in CH₂Cl₂ an insoluble product of composition (NEt₄)₂[Mo₂S₃Cl₉] was obtained along with a brown solution, from which (NEt₄)₂[Mo₂(S₂)Cl₈] was crystallized. The insoluble product and NEt₄Cl react in CH₂Cl₂ to yield, among others, (NEt₄)₃[Mo₃(S)(S₂)₃Cl₆]Cl · CH₂Cl₂. The latter crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, a = 2495.8, b = 1501.2, c = 1295.6 pm, Z = 4. According to the crystal structure determination (3070 observed reflexions, R = 0.049) the [Mo₃(S)(S₂)₃Cl₆]^2? ion consists of an Mo₃ triangle with Mo? Mo bonds, each side of the triangle is bridged by disulfido groups and one sulfur atom is capped over the Mo₃ triangle; the single chloride ion is looseley associated to three S atoms. (NEt₄)₂[Mo₂(S₂)Cl₈] also crystallizes in the space group Pnma, a = 1425.6, b = 1129.9, c = 2004.7 pm, Z = 4; structure determination with 1703 observed reflexions, R = 0.061. In the [Mo₂(S₂)Cl₈]^2? ion the Mo atoms are bridged via one disulfido group and two chlorine atoms. There is a Mo? Mo bond, but according to the magnetic properties and the EPR spectrum each Mo atom still possesses one unpaired electron.
