Mo-dithiolene complexes

Progress towards the synthesis of oxosulfldo/selenido-Mo dithiolene complexes has been reported by Sugimoto et however, to date,... 

An LMCT is also the lowest transition of some Mo-dithiolene complexes which are used as components in various magnetic and conducting materials and in chemical analogues of the catalytic centres of molybdenum oxo-transferase enzymes such as sulfite oxidase and DMSO reductase [44]. Also, many Mo-dithiolene complexes, including [(Cp)2Mo(dithiolene)] compounds (Fig. 3.6, right), possess not one but several dithiolene-Mo LMCT transitions close in energy to one another due to the presence of several closely-spaced and energetically accessible vacant d-orbitals on the Mo centre [45].
