Abstract:Although molybdenum sulfide materials show promise as electrocatalysts for proton reduction, the hydrido species proposed as intermediates remain poorly characterized. We report herein the synthesis, reactions and spectroscopic properties of a molybdenum-hydride complex featuring an asymmetric Mo2S2 core. This molecule displays rich redox chemistry with electrochemical couples at E½ = −0.45, −0.78 and −1.99 V vs. Fc/Fc+. The corresponding hydrido-complexes for all three redox levels were isolated and c… Show more
