Mixed valence copper-sulfur clusters of highest nuclearity: a Cu 8 wheel and a Cu 16 nanoball

Fully spin delocalized mixed valence copper-sulfur clusters, 1 and 2, supported by μ -sulfido and NS donor ligands are synthesized and characterized. Wheel shaped 1 consists of Cu S units. The unprecedented nanoball 2 can be described as S@Cu (tetrahedron)@O (octahedron)@Cu S (cage) consisting of bo...

Description
Summary:Fully spin delocalized mixed valence copper-sulfur clusters, 1 and 2, supported by μ -sulfido and NS donor ligands are synthesized and characterized. Wheel shaped 1 consists of Cu S units. The unprecedented nanoball 2 can be described as S@Cu (tetrahedron)@O (octahedron)@Cu S (cage) consisting of both Cu S and (μ -S)Cu units. The Cu S and (μ -S)Cu units resemble biological Cu and Cu sites respectively.
