Abstract

The trimetallic tetrahedrane complexes [MonW3-n5-C5H 5)3(CO)63-P)] (n = 0-3) are oxidised in carbon disulfide solution by elemental sulfur to the corresponding μ3-PS complexes [MonW3-n5-C5H 5)3(CO)63-PS)]; the new complexes lose the sulfur atom upon standing in solution at room temp, to regenerate [MonW3-n5-C5H 5)(CO)63-P)]; the X-ray crystal structure of [W35-C5H5) 3(CO)63-PS)] is determined.
