Abstract

A new polyoxomolybdate [(FcCH2)NH2(CH2C6H5)]4[Mo8O26] has been obtained by the reaction of ammonium molybdate and potassium N-benzyl-N-methylferrocenyl dithiocarbamate in mild acidic condition. The resulting cluster has been characterized by microanalyses, electronic absorption, photoluminescence, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and its electrochemical properties. Quantum chemical calculations have been performed in order to explain the CS2 elimination from the dithiocarbamate moiety. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of this compound reveals that the ammonium cation generates an intricate 2-D supramolecular architecture.
