Soluble mu-Fi bridged niobium clusters: synthesis and crystal structures of (Et4N)6[Nb6Fi6Bri6(NCS)a6]Br2 and Cs1.6K2.4[Nb6Fi6Ii6(NCS)a6].
Two new anions [Nb(6)F(i)(6)X(i)(6)(NCS)(a)(6)](4-)(X = Br, I) based on octahedral niobium clusters with edge-bridging F ligands have been prepared by reaction of Cs(3)Nb(6)F(6)Br(12) and Cs(4)Nb(6)F(8.5)I(9.5) with aqueous solution of KSCN. The anions were isolated as (Et(4)N)(6)[Nb(6)F(6)Br(6)(NCS)(6)]Br(2) (1)and Cs(1.6)K(2.4)[Nb(6)F(6)I(6)(NCS)(6)] (2) salts.
