The title compound [Ni(acac)2(dadpm)]∞ (acac=acetylacetonate, dadpm=4 ,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane) was synthesized from Ni(acac)2·2H2O with dadpm in DMF. The structure was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, the rmal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray analysis revealed that the central Ni atom is at a center of symmetry, and is octahedrally coordinated by four O atoms from two acac anions and two N atoms from two dadpm ligands. Ea ch dadpm ligand, which has a two-fold axis passing through its methylene C atom, bridges two Ni atoms to form a 1D polymeric chain. Neighboring chains connect v ia H bonding interactions to generate a 2D network. It crystallizes in the monoc linic system, space group P2/c with a=0.556 79(7), b=0.896 06(12), c=2.187 3(3) nm, β=94.942(3)°, V=1.087 2(3) nm3, Z=2, Dc=1.390 g·cm-3, F(000)=480, Mr=455. 17, μ(Mo Kα)=0.924 mm-1, R(F)=0.036 0, wR(F 2)=0.101 0, S=1.013.

Reaction of a preformed cluster [｛(η5-C5Me5)WS3｝3Cu7(MeCN)9](PF6)4 (1) in MeCN with LiCl and PPh3 gave rise to a tetranuclear cationic cluster [(η5-C5Me5)WS3｛Cu(PPh3)｝3Cl](PF6) (2). The title compound 2 was char- acterized by elementary analysis, IR, UV-Vis, 1H NMR, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. It belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c with a=1.7998(4) nm, b=2.0836(4) nm, c=1.9135(4) nm, β=113.63(3)°, V=6.574(3) nm3, Z=4. The cluster cation [(η5-C5Me5)WS3｛Cu(PPh3)｝3Cl]+ of 2 contains a strongly distorted, cubane-like structure [WS3Cu3Cl] in which one Cl weakly fills into the void of the nido-like [WS3Cu3] fragment with three relatively long Cu-Cl distances.

Reaction of (NH4)2WOS3 with CuI and 4-tert-butylpyridine (4-bpy) in EtOH afforded a tetranuclear neutral cluster WOS3Cu3I(4-bpy)3·0.25EtOH. This compound was characterized by elementary analysis, IR, 1H NMR, TGA, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. It belongs to monoclinic, space group P2/c with a=2.220 9(2) nm, b=1.364 66(11) nm, c=2.490 6(2) nm, β=104.953(2)°, V=7.292 9(12) nm3, Z=4. The title compound may be viewed as having a half-open cubane-like structure in which three Cu(4-bpy)+ units are linked by a triply-bridging WOS32- unit and a doubly-bridging iodine atom. CCDC: 266412.
