Synthesis and structure of the cluster μ_3-sulfido-μ-(diethylphosphorodithioato-S,S''''-)-allylthioureo-cyclo-tris-[(μ-sulfido)-x-(diethylphosphorodi-thioato-S,S'''')-molybdenum(IV)],Mo_3S_4(C_4H_(10)O_2S_2P)_4(C_4H_8N_2S)

Title compound,Mr=1273.16,was synthesized by a substitution reaction and its crystal'is triclinic belonging to space group P1 with cell parameters:a=13.944(2),b=14.143(7),c=14.233(3),A,a=77.35(3)°,β=69.94(2)°,γ=63.50(3)°,V=2351(1)A~3,Z=2,D_c=1.799g cm~(-3).Room tem-perature,graphite-filtered Mo K_α,radiation(λ=0.71073A)was used for data collection.μ=14.988cm~(-1),F(000)=1280,R=0.051 for 7025 observed reflections.The crystal consists of decrete clustermolecules containing a duster core[Mo_3(μ_3-S)]~(10+)with three μ-S,one μ-dtp(dtp=[S_2P(OC_2H_5)]~(2-),three x-dtp and one allylthioureo to form a local six-coordinated sphere around each Mo atom.Thebónds of cluster skeleton[Mo_3(μ_3-S)(μ-S)_3]~(4+),Mo—Mo 2.744～2.766,Mo—(μ_3-S)2.340～2.342 andMo—(μ-S)2.272～2.296 A,are comparable with those found in the related analogues.
