The reaction of MoVIO2(L-NS2) [L-NS2 = 2,6-bis(2,2-diphenyl-2-thioethyl)pyridinate(2-)] or MoV2O3(L-NS2)2 with excess PPh3 in N,N-dimethylformamide at 70 °C results in the formation of gray-green (L-NOS)MoIV(μ-O)(μ-S)MoIV(L-NS2) [L-NOS = 2-(2,2-diphenyl-2-thioethyl)-6-(2,2-diphenyl-2-oxoethyl)pyridinate(2-)] (1). The crystal structure of 1 revealed a dinuclear complex comprised of two trigonal bipyramidal Mo centers bridged along an axial−equatorial edge (the μ-O-μ-S vector) such that the Mo−N bonds are trans to the bridging atoms and are anti with respect to the Mo−Mo bond (d(Mo−Mo) = 2.5535(5) Å); the remaining coordination sites are occupied by the S- and O-donor atoms of the L-NOS and L-NS2 ligands. The diamond core is asymmetric, with Mo(1/2)−O(1) distances of 1.845(2) and 2.009(2) Å and Mo(1/2)−S(1) distances of 2.374(1) and 2.230(1) Å. Compound 1 is unique in possessing a planar, diamond-core unit devoid of terminal oxo ligation and a new tridentate L-NOS ligand formed via a novel intramolecular modification of the original L-NS2 ligand.
