Abstract: The title compound, tris(diethyldithiophosphato)-1²S,S';2²S,S';3²S,S'--o-phenylanthranilato-1:3²O,O'-N,N-dimethylformamide-2O-₃-thio-tri--thio-1:2²S;1:3²S; 2:3²S-triangulo-trimolybdenum(3Mo-Mo), [Mo₃S₄(o-C₆H₄COO-NH-C₆H₅)(DTP)₃(DMF)] or [Mo₃S₄(C₁₃H₁₀NO₂)(C₄H₁₀O₂PS₂)₃(C₃H₇NO)] (DTP is diethyl dithiophosphate and DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide), was synthesized from [Mo₃S₄(DTP)₄(H₂O)] in DMF by a ligand-substitution reaction, in which N-phenylanthranilate replaces the bridging DTP ligand. Its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. This ligand substitution shortens its bridged Mo-Mo bond from 2.734 (1) to 2.6847 (7) Å.
