With [Mo 3 ( μ 3-O) ( μ-S) 3 ( μ-OAc) 2 (dtp) 2 (py)] (dtp=S 2P(OC 2H 5) 2) −; OAc=OOCCH − 3; py=C 5H 5N) as the starting material, the reaction together with BiI 3 in presence of (H 2O) results in a novel Bi–Mo double-cubane cluster coupled by two bridging oxygen atoms { [Mo 3 (BiI 3) ( μ 3-O) ( μ 3-S) 3 ( μ-OAc) 2 (py) 3] 2 ( μ-O) 2}·2 (H 2O) 2. The cluster 2 has been characterized by IR, Raman, UV–Vis, NMR and single-crystal X-ray study. A comparison is made between these results and those of the previously reported single cubane Bi–Mo cluster [Mo 3 (BiI 3) ( μ 3-S) 4 ( μ-OAc) (dtp) 3 (py)] 1.
