?(3)-Bromido-oxidotri-?(3)-sulfido-tris-(triphenyl-phosphane-?P)-tri-copper(I)-tungsten(VI).

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Cu(3)WBrOS(3)(C(18)H(15)P)(3)], a neutral heavily distorted cubane-like W/S/Cu cluster, was self-assembled from ammonium trithio-tungstate(VI), cuprous bromide and triphenyl-phosphane in N,N-dimethyl-formamide. The average Cu-Br, Cu-S and W-?(3)-S bond lengths are 2.731?(2), 2.318?(2) and 2.256?(2)?Å, respectively, in the distorted cubane-like skeleton. The W atom exhibits tetra-hedral geometry, formed by one terminal O atom and three ?(3)-S atoms; the W-O bond length is 1.728?(6)?Å. Each Cu atom is coordinated by one P atom from a triphenyl-phosphane ligand, and two ?(3)-S and one ?(3)-Br atoms, forming a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry.
