| Abstract: | A new cluster {Mo3S4NH2CH2CH(O)CH2NH2]3}(DTP)·(H2O)2·(DMF) (DTP = diethyldithiophosphate) has been synthesized via ligand substitution reaction of Mo3S4(DTP)4(H2O) with an alkaline ligand 1,3-diamino-2-propanol(DAPROH) in a mixed organic solvent, and its crys- tal structure was determined with the following data: Mo3S6PC16H48O8N7, Mr = 977.76, triclinic, space group P, Z = 2, a = 10.319(2), b = 12.843(3), c = 15.335(3)(A), α = 65.26(3), β = 82.18(3), γ = 70.67(3)o, V = 1741.7(6) (A)3, Dc = 1.864 g/cm3, μ = 1.517 mm-1, F(000) = 988, the final R = 0.0794 and wR = 0.2111 for 6318 observed reflections (I>2σ(I)). The structure analysis indicates that all DTP ligands of Mo3S4(DTP)4(H2O) are replaced and each DAPRO molecule acts as a tri- dentate ligand chelating to each Mo atom of the Mo3S4 core. Different from the precursor, the clus- ter symmetry is elevated to C3. In addition, the UV-spectrum of the title compound was measured. |
