?2-Acetato-?(2) O:O'-(4,4'-bipyridyl-?N)tris-(diethyl di-thio-phosphato-?(2) S,S')-?3-sulfido-tri-?2-sulfido-trimolybdenum(IV) diethyl ether monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Mo3(CH3COO)(C4H10O2PS2)3S4(C10H8N2)]·C4H10O, the complex mol-ecule has a trinuclear incomplete cuboidal structure which is coordinated by three kinds of ligands, namely, diethyl di-thio-phosphate, acetate and 4,4'-bipyridyl. If Mo-Mo bonds are ignored, each Mo atom can be considered as six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Mo-Mo distance of 2.6880?(5)?Å for two the Mo atoms bridged by the acetate ligand is shorter than the other two Mo-Mo distances [2.7490?(5) and 2.7566?(5)?Å]. One ethyl group is disordered between two conformations in a 0.65?(3):0.35?(3) ratio. In the crystal, weak C-H?O inter-actions link the trinuclear mol-ecules related by translation in [100] into chains. The crystal packing exhibits short inter-molecular S?S contacts of 3.1886?(13)?Å. In other words, in this crystal packing, a supramolecular structure is constructed by the C-H?O and S?S interactions.
