Abstract

The positive ion FAB mass spectrum of a linear trinuclear sulfide cluster, [Cp*RhP(OEt)3(μ-WS4CuCl] (1; Cp* = η5-C5Me5), shows many ions heavier than the molecular ion. One of the envelopes corresponds to a pentanuclear cationic cluster of [{Cp*RhP(OEt)3(WS4)}2Cu]+. It has been synthesized by a reaction between [Cp*RhP(OEt)3WS4] and Cu+ in a 2:1 molar ratio as the PF6 salt [{Cp*RhP(OEt)3(μ-WS4)}2Cu][PF6] (2 · PF6), which is characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction, EXAFS, and IR measurements.
