Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Characterization of a Novel Supramolecular Cluster Compound [(BPE)3(WOS3Cu3Br4)2

Abstract

Orange-yellow crystals of the title compound were obtained from the reaction of [NH4]2[WO2S2], CuI, and bpe·Br2 (1:3:2) in DMF solution. And the crystal system is trigonal, space group P–3 c 1, with unit cell parameters a = 13.9730(15) Å, b = 13.9730 Å, c = 18.1365(19) Å, and Z = 2. This cluster compound possesses a wheel-shaped supramolecular structure containing tetranuclear cluster core. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
