Abstract

The complex [MoCl₃(thf)₃] (thf = tetrahydrofuran) is prepared in high yield by the tin reduction of [MoCl₄(thf)₂] in thf. It reacts with [NH₄][S₂P(OMe)₂] in dry methanol to give [Mo{S₂P(OMe)₂}₃] which crystallizes in the space group C2/c with a = 14.342(5), b = 11.239(5), c = 12.945(4) Å, β = 97.12(1)° and Z = 4. 2 453 Reflections gave R = 0.039. The molybdenum is pseudo-octahedral and the complex has overall C₂ symmetry. The Mo-S average distance is 2.507(2) Å.
