Reaction of CuCl and pyrazole (Pz) with [NH4](2)[WOS3] in acetone yields a new cluster WOS(3)Cu(3)PZ(3)Cl (1), forming a one-dimensional polymer through secondary Cu-Cl bonding, while [PPh4](4)[{WOS3(CuNCSe)(3)}(2)] (2) with selenocyanate bridges in the dimeric anion is formed by the reaction of CuCl and KSeCN With [PPh4](2)[WOS3] in acetone solution. The title compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. We also present the temperature-dependent H-1 NMR spectrum of WOS(3)Cu(3)PZ(3)Cl. Crystals of [PPh4](2)[Cu(NCS)(4)] (3) have been obtained during the slow evaporation of dichloromethane solution of [PPh4](2)[Co(WO2S2)(2)(CuNCS)(2)]. The two compounds I and 2 contain approximately tetrahedral WOS3 units and all metal atoms and sulfur atoms form incomplete cubane-type frameworks; the eighth vertex opposite W is vacant. Thiotungstate groups in 1 and 2 act as bidentate ligands through two sulfur atoms chelating copper atoms. This is consistent with the infrared spectra, which exhibit low frequency W-S-b stretching hands. There is no coordination of oxygen atoms to copper. In each of 1 and 2 two distinctly different coordination geometries of copper are found: two copper atoms adopt trigonal planar geometry, while the third one adopts distorted tetrahedral geometry. Compound 3 has an essentially regular tetrahedral geometry, unusual for Cu(II). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
