Abstract

A new cluster compound WCu3OS3(PPh3)3{S2P (OPr2i)2}, prepared by reacting (NH4)2WOS3 with PPh3 and [CuS2P(OPr2i)2], was characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The structure consists of a tetra-nuclear distorted tetragonal core with one W atom coordinated by one O atom, three μ3-S and three Cu atoms. Anisotropic refinement for all nonhydrogen atoms yielded the value R = 0.0718. Investigation of third-order optical nonlinearity using the Z-scan technique shows that the cluster compound exhibits good nonlinear properties with χ2 values of 1.23 × 10-10 m w-1 and n2 values of -9.3 × 10-18 m2 w-1 respectively.
