Bis[tris(diisobutyldithiocarbamato)- μ 3-sulfido-tri- μ 2-disulfido-trimolybdenum(IV)] sulfide tetrahydrofuran monosolvate

The title compound, [Mo3(C9H18NS2)3(S2)3S]2S, crystallizes on a general position in the monoclinic space group P21/n (No. 14). The cationic [Mo3S7(S2CNiBu2)3]+ fragments are joined by a monosulfide dianion that forms close S...S contacts to each of the disulfide ligands on the side of the Mo3 plane opposite the μ 32 − ligand. The two Mo3 planes are inclined at an angle of 40.637   (15) ° , which gives the assembly an open clamshell-like appearance. One μ 6-S2 − ...S22 − contact, at 2.4849   (14)   Å , is appreciably shorter than the remaining five, which are in the range 2.7252   (13) – 2.8077   (14)   Å .
