Crystal structures of two solvates of molybdenum octahedral clusters: (Bu4N)2[Mo6Cl8(O3SC6H4CH3)6]·2CH3CN and (Bu4N)2[Mo6Cl8(O3SC6H4CH3)6]·2CH2Cl2

Crystal structures of two solvates (Bu 4 N) 2 [Mo 6 Cl 8 (O 3 SC 6 H 4 CH 3 ) 6 ]·2CH 3 CN ( 1 ) and (Bu 4 N) 2 [Mo 6 Cl 8 (O 3 SC 6 H 4 CH 3 ) 6 ]·2CH 2 Cl 2 ( 2 ) are determined. Both compounds contain cluster [Mo 6 Cl 8 (O 3 SC 6 H 4 CH 3 ) 6 ] 2− anions. Molybdenum atoms are coordinated with monodentate carboxylate ligands (Mo-O 2.101(3)–2.110(3) Å in 1 ; 2.088(7)–2.109(2) Å in 2 ).
