Abstract

The compounds [(n-Bu)4N]3[MoS4Ag 3Cl4] (1) and [Et4N]3[WOS 3Cu3I4] (2) were synthesized and characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the rhombohedral system, space group R3c with a = 17.194(1), b = 17.194(1), c = 39.194(3) Å, Z = 6, V = 10034.7(11) Å3. Compound 2 crystallizes in the rhombohedral system, space group R3c with a = 14.461(2), b = 14.461(2), c = 34.952(2) Å, Z = 6, V= 6329.9(13) Å3. The X-ray crystallographic structure determinations show that these two cluster compounds consist of a slightly distorted cubic core. Nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of these two clusters were investigated by using Z-scan techniques with an 8 ns pulsed laser at 532 nm; both clusters exhibit strong nonlinear optical absorption effect (effective α2 = 1.18 × 10-10 m·W-1 for 1 and 1.0× 10-10 m·W-1 for 2).
