Abstract:
Using ab initio method and natural bond analyses, the electronic structures of dinuclear tungsten cluster [Et 4 N] 2 [W 2 S 4 (TDT) 2 ] and the cubane-like tetranuclear mixed-metal clusters W 2 MM′S 4 (TDT) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 (M,M′ = Cu,Ag) have been studied. It is shown that the tungsten clusters are similar with the molybdenum clusters. Besides the metal-metal and metal-sulfur direct bonding, the metal - sulfur - metal interactions can be discerned by the multi-center d - pπ bondings, which exist among the metal and bridging(or terminal) sulfur atoms. The research results discover that the 3cπ(W-S b -W) and π(W-S 1 ) bonds in the dinuclear cluster built some 'active centers'. The nature of multi-centered d - pπ bondings and their effects on the stability and reactivities in [2 + 1 + 1] addition reactions of the tetranuclear clusters are discussed. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
