Abstract
The title compound, tris(diethyldithiophosphato)-1κ2S,S′;2κ2S,S′;3κ2S,S′-μ-o-phenylanthranilato-1:3κ2O,O′-N,N-dimethylformamide-2κO-μ3-thio-tri-μ-thio-1:2κ2S;1:3κ2S; 2:3κ2S-triangulo-trimolybdenum(3Mo—Mo), [Mo3S4(o-C6H4COO-NH-C6H5)(DTP)3(DMF)] or [Mo3S4(C13H10NO2)(C4H10O2PS2)3(C3H7NO)] (DTP is diethyl dithiophosphate and DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide), was synthesized from [Mo3S4(DTP)4(H2O)] in DMF by a ligand-substitution reaction, in which N-phenylanthranilate replaces the bridging DTP ligand. Its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. This ligand substitution shortens its bridged Mo—Mo bond from 2.734 (1) to 2.6847 (7) Å.
