摘要

The discovery of novel transition metal cubane clusters with different electron counts and topologies is of considerable importance due to the prevalence of this structure type in catalytic proteins. Here, we report the solvothermal synthesis and full characterization of [V7S8Cl2(en)(8)]Cl-4 (en = ethylenediamine), the first early transition metal dicubane cluster. Electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the cluster has one unpaired electron localized on a single V4+, which according to DFT simulations is the central bridging vanadium. The remaining V3+ atoms feature significant metal-metal bonding.
