In the title dinuclear molybdenum–chloro–oxo–sulfido–pyridine complex, di-μ-sulfido-bis[chloro(oxo)bis(pyridine-N)molybdenum] (Mo—Mo) bis(pyridine) solvate, [Mo2Cl2(O)2(S)2(C5H5N)4].2C5H5N, the two Mo atoms are each coordinated by one chloro, one oxo and two pyridine ligands, and are bridged by two μ-S ligands. The distance between the Mo atoms is 2.837 (1) Å, suggesting the existence of a Mo—Mo single bond.
