Abstract

The crystal structure of the cluster complex salt, (C6H13N2)4[Nb6(NCS)6Cl12] or (H-DABCO)4[Nb6Cl12(NCS)6] (DABCO = tri-ethyl-enedi-amine or 1,4-di-aza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octa-ne), comprises octa-hedral Nb6 cluster cores, which are μ2-coordinated by 12 chloride ligands (bridging the octa-hedral edges, inner ligand sphere). Furthermore, each Nb atom is N-bonded to a terminal thio-cyanate ligand (outer ligand sphere). The discrete clusters carry a charge of -4, which is compensated by four monoprotonated DABCO mol-ecules. These are arranged in rows, which are N-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonded to the anions and among each other.
