Improved synthetic pathways to the Mo/sub 4/Cl/sub 8/L/sub 4/ cluster compounds were elucidated which provide a facile entrance to the synthesis of new four metal atom clusters. The new tetranuclear clusters, with the stoichiometry R/sub 4/Mo/sub 4/Cl/sub 12/ (R = Et/sub 4/N, Pr/sub 4/N, O/sub 4/P), were prepared by the reaction of tetraalkylammonium or tetraphenylphosphonium chlorides with the rectangular tetrameric cluster Mo/sub 4/Cl/sub 8/L/sub 4/. The ternary molybdenum oxide, Sn/sub 0.9/Mo/sub 4/O/sub 6/, was synthesized by high temperature reactions in sealed molybdenum tubes. 90 refs., 46 figs., 63 tabs.
