Sulfur-Bridged Cubane-Type Molybdenum-Gallium Clusters with Mo(3)GaS(4)(n)(+) (n = 5, 6) Cores. X-ray Structures of [Mo(3)GaS(4)(H(2)O)(12)](CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3))(5).14H(2)O and [Mo(3)GaS(4)(H(2)O)(12)](CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3))(6).17H(2)O.

Sulfur-bridged cubane-type molybdenum-gallium clusters [Mo(3)GaS(4)(H(2)O)(12)](5+) (2) and [Mo(3)GaS(4)(H(2)O)(12)](6+) (3) have been synthesized from [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) (1) and gallium metal and have been isolated as 2(pts)(5).14H(2)O (2.pts) and 3(pts)(6).
