STUDY OF REDOX PROPERTIES OF TETRANUCLEAR DENUM CLUSTER COMPOUND {Mo_4(μ_3-S)(μ_3-O)[S_2P(OEt)_2]_6}

The redox properties of tetranuclear molybdenum cluster {Mo4(μ3-S)3(μ3-O)CS2P(OEt)2D6}(1)have been investigated by linear sweep voltammetry,cyclic voltammetry,differential pulse voltammetry and controlled potential coulome-try.It is showed that the compound undergoes two consecutive near reversible one-electron reductions at-0.03V and-0.79V respectively and a near reverisble one-electron oxidation at 0.98V with scan rates from 25 mV/sec to 1V/sec in cyclic voltammetric measurements.Three stable peaks can still be seen after several hours of repeated slow speed scan(1mV/sec)in differential pulse voltammetry.These evidences suggest the high structural stability of this cluster compound.

The 31p chemicalshifts of ligand DTP’s (diethyldithiophosphate) were modulated by the substituent effect of the adjacent bridging aromatic carboxylate through the long-distance super-conjugation via the trinuclear Mo cluster core.
