“…The monomeric tungsten precursor was deemed pure by elemental analyses. Other analytical data were in agreement with the literature. − Peaks corresponding to protonated WS 3 L 2 as well as its acetonitrile adduct were dominant in the electrospray mass spectrum: ES-TOF + m / z : 576.94 (33%, [M + H] + ), 660.04 (100% [MeCN·M + H] + ). The isotope pattern of the complex from mass spectrometry confirms the inclusion of only one tungsten center.…”
