A cyclic hexanuclear heterometalladithiolene cluster [{(Cp*Rh)2Mo(mu-CO)2(CO)}2(S2C6H2S2)2] with two pi-conjugated S2C6S2 bridges: synthesis, crystal structure, and properties.
Two dragons playing ball: Direct metal-metal bond formation using a pi-conjugated dinuclear metalladithiolene complex with two electron-deficient metal centers as building blocks led to a cyclic double trinuclear heterometalladithiolene cluster with two parallel plane bridges (see structure; Rh pink, Mo green, S yellow, C gray, O red).
