Molybdenum, polysulfide complexes

Alkyne-substituted quinoxalines (10) and pterins have been converted to molybdenum-dithiolenes via Eq. (2) (54) and Eq. (3) (55) by exploiting the reaction of activated acetylenes with molybdenum polysulfide complexes 9, 27, 28). The Mo-S vibration of 11, the final... 

Molybdenum complexes of polysulfide ligands are reactive and, for example, readily make and break sulfur-carbon bonds, a property undoubtedly relevant to the involvement of Mo—S...
