Low dimensional solids based on Mo 6 cluster cyanides and Mn 2+ , Mn 3+ or Cd 2+ metal ions: crystal chemistry, magnetic and optical properties

Five new cluster compounds based on [Mo 6 Br i 8 (CN) a 6 ] 2− and [Mo 6 Br i 6 Q i 2 (CN) a 6 ] n− (Q = S, Se, n = 3, 4) cluster units have been synthesized and characterized.
