Di-μ-phenyl­methane­thiol­ato-μ-sulfido-bis­[carbonyl(η⁵-cyclo­penta­dienyl)molybdenum(III)]

The reaction of bis­[cyclo­penta­dienyl­tri­carbonyl­molyb­den­um(I)] with di­benzyl tri­sulfide affords the title compound, [Mo₂S(C₅H₅)₂(C₇H₇S)₂(CO)₂], as one of the products. Three independent mol­ecules exist in the asymmetric unit of the triclinic unit cell; one is related to another by a false inversion center and is related to the third by a false translation. In each dinuclear entity, each Mo atom is bonded to a cyclo­penta­dienyl anion and a carbon monoxide mol­ecule; the phenyl­methane­thiol­ate groups bridge a pair of Mo atoms, as does the sulfide atom.
