Synthesis, structure and NMR studies of trinuclear Mo3S4 clusters coordinated with dithiophosphate and chiral carboxylate ligands

Abstract

Introducing chirality into the Mo3S4 cluster has been achieved through coordination of (S)-mandelate and (S)-phenyllactate ligands affording new complexes as a pair of diastereoisomers, (PS) and (MS), represented in the scheme.
