Abstract

Acetonitrile solutions of (mesitylene)Mo(CO)₃, 1.5 equiv. Et₄NCN, and 0.25 equiv M⁺ afford the inorganic tetrahedranes (Et₄N)₅[M⊂Mo₄(μ-CN)₆ (CO)₁₂] (M = Na, Li), the strained nature of which is indicated by their ready reaction with CsO₃SCF₃ to give trigonal prismatic (Et₄N)₈[Cs⊂Mo₆(μ-CN)₉ (CO)₁₈].
