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.

The lattice dimensions are: a = 1097 pm, b = 1510 pm, c = 1591 pm, β = 104.4°.

The molybdenum atoms are bridged by two disulfido ligands and are bonded directly with a bond length of 286 pm. The terminal halogen atoms add up to coordination number nine at the molybdenum.
