Octakis(₃-tert-butylthiolato)bis(tert-butylthiolato)hexakis(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one)-₆-sulfido-hexabarium(II)

R. J. Butcher and A. P. Purdy

Abstract: The title compound, [Ba₆(C₄H₉S)₁₀S(C₅H₉NO)₆], possessing twofold symmetry, contains a central ₆-sulfido atom surrounded by six Ba atoms in an almost perfect octahedron. Of the six Ba atoms, two are seven-coordinate with an S₅O₂ donor set, while four are six-coordinate. Two of these have S₅O and two have S₆ donor sets. There are six 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone donor molecules, two each coordinated to two Ba atoms and one each coordinated to two other Ba atoms.
