In this report, initial results pertaining to the synthesis molybdenum clusters and characterization using absorption, optical microscopy, and x-ray powder diffraction are discussed. The synthesis was performed according to literature [1], but results from x-ray powder diffraction indicate that the synthesis did not give the desired compound. The absorption and optical microscopy indicate that the compound synthesized has properties similar to the desired Mo{sub 6}Cl{sub 12} clusters [2,3], so it is unclear as of yet what happened. The sample cell for performing high temperature spectroscopy on thin films of the molybdenum clusters at elevated temperature in a controlled gas environment was designed and an initial prototype was built
