Oxo/thiometallates

Based on the previous discussion and the nature of the Mo-tj -S4 chromophore, the reactions of the thio- and oxo/thiometallates mainly involve the Mo=S and M0-S2 groups and include (Figs. 20 and 21) sulfur addition reactions, sulfur abstraction reactions, addition of electrophilic molecules such as CS2 and DMA, Mo=S dimerization reactions, and abstraction of S " by thiophilic metal ions. 

Dithiete can be used as an oxidant for the thiometalates and oxythiometalates, and thus induced internal electron-transfer reactions provide an efficient method for synthesizing selected metal dithiolene and oxo-containing...
