Abstract:A cubic metal‐sulfur cluster containing three Mo ions and a Pd ion, [CpSiEt33Mo3S4Pd]Cl (Mo3Pd, CpSiEt3 = C5Me4SiEt3), was synthesized by the incorporation of the Pd ion into a Mo3S4 cluster [CpSiEt33Mo3S4] (Mo3). Mo3Pd was characterized by 1H NMR, UV‐vis, X‐ray crystallography, and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The electrochemical measurements demonstrated reversible one‐ and two‐electron reduction processes for Mo3Pd, which suggested potential catalytic activity for two‐electron substrate reductions such … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
