Abstract
AbstractSynthesis, characterization, and physical properties of [Mo6Xi8(TTF‐CH=CH‐Py)a6]4+ supramolecular assemblies [TTF = tetrathiafulvalene; Py = pyridine; X = Cl (1), Br (2),I (3)] resulting from the reaction between [Mo6Xi8(OSO2CF3)6]2– cluster precursor and TTF‐CH=CH‐Py ligands were investigated. They are based on the association of the strongly delocalized metallic electron [Mo6Xi8]4+ cluster cores with six redox‐active π‐conjugated TTF‐CH=CH‐Py terminal ligands attached to the Mo clusters through the pyridinyl group. Synergetic π‐d interactions between the organic ligands and the cluster core were experimentally evidenced by electrochemistry and absorption measurements, and corroborated by DFT calculations.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
