Synthesis, Structure, and Luminescence Properties of a {Mo6I8} Complex with (C6F5)2PO2 Ligands

Reaction of [Mo 6 I 8 (CH 3 COO) 6 ] 2– with bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphinic acid HO(O)P(C 6 F 5 ) 2 yielded a new bright‐red luminescent complex [{Mo 6 I 8 }(O 2 P(C 6 F 5 ) 2 ) 6 ] 2– , isolated as (Bu 4 N)(H 5 O 2 )[{Mo 6 I 8 }(O 2 P(C 6 F 5 ) 2 ) 6 ] · 3(Et 2 O) · 1.5(acetone). It was characterized by X‐ray analysis, CV, ESI‐mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy.
