The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The title compound, hexaammonium tetra-μ3-selenido-tetrakis(tricyanomolybdenum) hexahydrate, is isostructural with the Mo/S, W/S and W/Se analogues. The structure contains disordered cyclic hydrogen-bonded [{(NH4)(H2O)}3]3+ cations and [Mo4Se4(CN)12]6- cluster anions with 4̄3m symmetry. The cation assembly consists of alternating ammonium and water molecules linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The anion has a typical cubane cluster structure. The cations and anions are linked together by hydrogen bonds involving the terminal N atoms of the CN groups.
