Metal-chalcogenide cluster compounds isolation

Better yields for MgSg " (M = Mo, W) are obtained when MgClig, NaSH, and NaOBu are refluxed in pyridine. In these reactions the NaOBu serves as a proton abstractor and the chalcogenide clusters are isolated as the pyridine adducts (14, 70, 71). The chemistry and structural variations of the group 6 metal chalcogenide clusters were recently reviewed in this series, and the reader is referred to this publication for further information on these compounds (72).
