Heavy chalcogenide-transition metal clusters as coordination polymer nodes

“…39 Recently, Ji et al have successfully linked Mo 3 S 7 clusters with 1,4-benzenedithiolate (BDT) to form dimers, cages, and 1D chains. 40 The robust ligand substitution chemistry of the welldocumented Mo 3 S 7 clusters enables its extension into chains as a three-connected SBU (Fig. 6A).…”

Self‐Supported Mesoporous Iron Phosphide with High Active‐Site Density for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution in Acidic and Alkaline Media

“…In recent years, many transition metal materials have been developed as HER catalysts, such as sulfides, [12,13] borides, [14,15] nitrides [16,17] and carbides [16,18] . Among these electrocatalysts, transition metal phosphides (TMPs), such as Co, Ni, Fe and Cu‐based TMPs catalyst have drawn considerable attention due to high conductivity and moderate bond energies towards intermediates (H*, OH*) [19–22] .…”

Assembly and Redox-Rich Hydride Chemistry of an Asymmetric Mo2S2 Platform

“…Although the mechanism of proton reduction by MoS x materials is not fully understood, calculations implicate molybdenum-hydrido intermediates that are protonated to give H 2 [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. A number of molecular analogues for the surface interface of MoS x materials have been shown to be active HER catalysts, although Mo–H intermediates, if they are formed, have not been well-characterized [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Indeed, molecular Mo–H complexes featuring sulfur-donor ligands, particularly sulfides, are uncommon [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

“…Recrystallisation by dissolving the complex in a minimum amount of THF and diluting with 3 volumes of hexane gave the product as glistening black-green crystals. Yield: 1 21. g, 56%.…”
