The reaction of Co2(CO)8 with EtSPCl2 gives a new crystal like compound Co7(μ7-S)(μ4-PSEt)(μ-SEt)2(μ-CO)2(CO)12,whose structure has been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction.This special com-pound reveals some new features in cluster chemistry1:The fragmentation of a ligand precursor EtSPCl2 yieldsthree kinds of fragments,μ7-S,μ4-PSEt and μ-SEt,which are ligands in the same cluster molecule.There is anew type of bridging S presented——A μ7-S atom is interspaced into seven Co core.
