Heterobimetallic cluster of [WOS3]2− with copper(I) chloride: synthesis and structural characterization of a new dinuclear complex [Me4N]2[WOS3(CuCl)]

Orange–yellow crystals of the new dinuclear complex [Me4N]2[WOS3(CuCl)] were formed by the reaction of [Me4N]2[WOS3] with CuCl in a mixture of 1:1 MeCN/CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The new compound has been characterized by infrared and mass spectrometry. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined from single crystal diffractometer data (Mo Kα-radiation) and it is characterized as binuclear complex anions [WOS3(CuCl)]2−.
