A three-dimensional adamantane-like nanoscopic cage built from four iodide-bridged triangular Mo3S7 cluster units.
Chemical oxidation of a Mo(3)S(7) cluster featuring catecholate ligands, namely [Mo(3)S(7)(Cl(4)cat)(3)](2-) (Cl(4)cat = tetrachlorocatecholate), allows the isolation of a unique nanoscopic molecular cage made of four iodide-bridged Mo(3)S(7) clusters as the kinetically favoured product.
