The heteromultimetallic architecture (Mo[SNS]2M(Ln)) has been investigated and affords Mo[SNS]2Nix(dppe)x (x = 1, 2) (Ln = dppe) with the goal of exploring the Mo[SNS]2 complex as a redox-active cofactor (dppe = 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane). Synthesis of these multimetallic systems involves a salt metathesis between the putative K2(Mo[SNS]2) complex and the divalent transition metal chloride species. Electrochemical data illustrates that ligation of the Mo[SNS]2 cofactor to the coordinatively-unsaturated metal center engenders rich electronic properties. Investigations into the electronic properties of the heterotrimetallic Mo[SNS]2Ni2(dppe)2 suggests that this class of compound would be applicable to mixed valency studies for future work.
