Treatment of MoCl3(THF)3 with 3 equiv. of LiSC6H3Mes2-2,6 (Mes = C6H2Me3-2,4,6) (Lidmpt) affords the monomeric molybdenum trithiolate Mo(η7-dmpt)(η1-dmpt)2, 1, which is spectroscopically and structurally characterized; the MoS3 array has distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry which is caused by strong π-interactions between molybdenum and an ortho-mesityl group from one of the thiolate substituents.
