Thermal and photochemical interconversion occurs between the isomeric pair of tetrathiotungstate [WS 4 ] 2− clusters 1 and 2 , which were formed by thermolysis of [Cp * 2 Ru 2 S 4 ] and [W(CO) 3 (MeCN) 3 ] [Eq. (1)] and then structurally characterized. During synthesis, a dramatic redistribution of ligands between the Ru and W atoms takes place without the loss of any CO and S ligands.
