Synthesis and characterization of Bis(μ-sulfido)bis[{O,O-dimethyldithiophosphato}oxomolybdenum(V)]. Crystal structure of Mo2O2(Φ-S2)[S2P(OMe)2]2.C6H6

Journal of Chemical Crystallography Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Bis(μ-sulfido)bis[{O,O-dimethyldithiophosphato}oxomolybdenum(V) was prepared by dropwise addition of an ethanolic solution of the ammonium salt of O,O-dimethyldithio-phosphoric acid to a hot aqueous solution of MoCl5. The X-ray structure of Mo2O2(Φ-S2)[S2P(OMe)2]2.C6H6 was determined. Crystal data: Monoclinic, P21/n, a = 6.9788(6), b = 22.616(3), c = 14.633(1) Å, β = 101.193(9)°, V = 2265.5(4) Å−3, Z = 4. The immediate environment around the two molybdenum atoms is essentially square pyramidal if the Mo—Mo interaction is ignored. The terminal oxygen atoms are in the syn conformation.
