CO Binding onto Heterometals of [Mo3S4M] (M = Fe, Co, Ni) Cubes

Abstract

His research interests include organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry with an emphasis on developing new synthetic methodologies for inorganic molecules.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Activity of a Cubic [Mo3S4Pd] Cluster Bearing Bulky Cyclopentadienyl Ligands

“…We have also reported the synthesis of [Mo 3 S 4 M] cubes and their reactivity in a relevant manner [35–37] . The precursor of our [Mo 3 S 4 M] cubes is cyclopentadienyl (C 5 Me 4 SiEt 3 , Cp SiEt3 )‐supported [Mo 3 S 4 ] platform, of which three μ 2 ‐sulfides can uptake and hold one M atom.…”

“…[34] We have also reported the synthesis of [Mo 3 S 4 M] cubes and their reactivity in a relevant manner. [35][36][37] The precursor of our [Mo 3 S 4 M] cubes is cyclopentadienyl (C 5 Me 4 SiEt 3 , Cp SiEt3 )-supported [Mo 3 S 4 ] platform, of which three μ 2 -sulfides can uptake and hold one M atom. Steric protection around M imposed by the substituents of Cp SiEt3 ligands is a unique feature of our platform and prevents undesirable decomposition or aggregation of the resultant [Mo 3 S 4 M] cubes.…”
