Phosphines dithiocarbamato

Reaction of [MoCl(S2CNR2)3] (R = Me, Et) with silver triflate afforded diamagnetic [Mo2(dtc)6][OTf]2 which could act as the source of tris(dithiocarbamato)Mo cations in the synthesis of [MoL(dtc)3]"+ (n = 0, L = Cl, I, N3 n = 1, L = O, NCMe, PR3). The molybdenum atom in paramagnetic seven-coordinate [Mo(PMe2Ph)(S2CNEt2)3][OTf has pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination with an apical phosphine ligand.
