Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Reactivity of Two New Triangular Molybdenum Cluster Compounds: Mo 3 Te 7 ‐[S 2 CN(CH 2 CH 2 OH) 2 ] 3 I and Mo 3 Te 4 Y 3 [S 2 P( i PrO) 2 ] 3 I (Y 3 = 1.43Te + 1.57S)

Two triangular molybdenum‐tellurium clusters, Mo 3 Te 7 ‐[S 2 CN (CH 2 CH 2 OH 2 ] 3 I (1) and Mo 3 Te 4 Y 3 [S 2 P( i PrO) 2 ] 3 I (Y 3 = 1. 43Te+ 1.57S) (2), were obtained from the reaction of K · HOdtc [HOdtc = S 2 CN(CH 2 CH 2 OH) 2 ] or K· i Pr 2 dtp ( i Pr 2 dtp = S 2 P[OCH(CH 3 ) 2 ] 2 ) with a mixed product of elements Mo, Te(S) and I 2 at high temperature. The structures of the two compounds were determined by X‐ray crystallography study. Crystal data are, (1): monoclinic, P2 1 / n, a = 1.6256(3), b = 1.3264(2), c = 1.8808(4) nm, β=96.923°, V = 4.025.9 (14) nm 3 , D cal = 3.050g·cm‐ 3 , Z = 4, and (2): monoclinic, P 2 1 / n, a = 1.4564(2), b = 2.3917(4), c = 1.5094(3) nm, β = 114.35(2)°, V = 4.0259(14) nm 3 , D cal = 2.449 g·cm −3 and Z = 4. Single crystal analyses show that 1 consists of discrete Mo 3 Te 7 [S 2 CN(CH 2 CH 2 OH) 2 ] 3 I connected into three‐dimensional framework via hydrogen bonds, while 2 forms a linear chain via Te(S)—I interaction.
