A Brief general account on dioxygen, disulphur, polysulphur and polysulphides has been furnished. It has been shown that while MoO42- on prolonged heating with aqueous polyaulphide ions (sx2-) furnishes a triangular and a binuclear Mo-S clusters, viz, [Mo3S(S2)6]2- and [Mo2(S2)6)2- respectively, a brief cooking affords (Mo2O2S2)2- moiety in the form of the complex [Mo2O2S2(S2)(S4)]2-. WO42- needs to be reduced to Wo3+ first and then furnished the complexes [W2O2S2(S2)(S4)]2- or [W2O2S2(S4)2]2-, but not the molybdenum analogues of the all-sulphur triangular or binuclear clusters. The solution containing (M2O2S2)2- (M=Mo, W) moiety and excess polysulphides when stirred with L-L ligands (bipy or phen) affords a red or orange-red solid wherefrom a binuclear complex [M2O2S2(NCS)2 (L-L2)]and a mononuclear product (MO(S2)2 (L-L)l are crystallised and structurally characterised. (Mo2O2S2)2+ core containing η2-S2 and η2-S4 in DMF undergoes reversible cyclic voltametric responses showing stepvrise reduction of two Mo(V) centres to Mo(IV). In the case of (W2O2S2)2+, the reduction is essentially a two electron single step process, the reverse sweep exhibiting two step single electron oxidative responses. The [W0(S2)2(L-L)) shows nearly reversible two step one electron reduction at the metal centre but the Mo-analogue shows irreversible electrochemical responses.

Abstract


A Brief general account on dioxygen, disulphur, polysulphur and polysulphides has been furnished. It has been shown that while MoO42- on prolonged heating with aqueous polyaulphide ions (sx2-) furnishes a triangular and a binuclear Mo-S clusters, viz, [Mo3S(S2)6]2- and [Mo2(S2)6)2- respectively, a brief cooking affords (Mo2O2S2)2- moiety in the form of the complex [Mo2O2S2(S2)(S4)]2-. WO42- needs to be reduced to Wo3+ first and then furnished the complexes [W2O2S2(S2)(S4)]2- or [W2O2S2(S4)2]2-, but not the molybdenum analogues of the all-sulphur triangular or binuclear clusters. The solution containing (M2O2S2)2- (M=Mo, W) moiety and excess polysulphides when stirred with L-L ligands (bipy or phen) affords a red or orange-red solid wherefrom a binuclear complex [M2O2S2(NCS)2 (L-L2)]and a mononuclear product (MO(S2)2 (L-L)l are crystallised and structurally characterised. (Mo2O2S2)2+ core containing η2-S2 and η2-S4 in DMF undergoes reversible cyclic voltametric responses showing stepvrise reduction of two Mo(V) centres to Mo(IV). In the case of (W2O2S2)2+, the reduction is essentially a two electron single step process, the reverse sweep exhibiting two step single electron oxidative responses. The [W0(S2)2(L-L)) shows nearly reversible two step one electron reduction at the metal centre but the Mo-analogue shows irreversible electrochemical responses.
