Good morning,
I have problems in equilibrating a synthesis reaction. The pathway is given :
(NH4)6Mo7024.4H2O +28 H2S+8 NH4OH--> 7(NH4)2MoS4 + 36 H20
(NH4)2MoS4 (CuCN/KCN/[Pr4N)Br]) --> (Pr4N)2[(CN)CuS2MoS2]
(Pr4N)2[(CN)CuS2MoS2] + Cu(PPh3)2(NO3) --> [(Ph3P)2CuS2MoS2Cu(PPh3)]
I don't really see how to equilibrate the 2 last ones and I have also problems to explain really what occurs during this synthesis. I found a contribution from the department of chemistry in Australia. The follwing paragraph explains how works the second reaction :
Synthesis of (n-Pr4N)2[(CN)CuS2MoS2]
a solution of KCN (O.64g 9.8mmol) in H2O (7 cm3) is added to a suspension of NH4CuMoS4 (3g 9.8mmol) in H2O (30 cm3) to produce a deep red solution.
A solution of (n-Pr4N)Br (5.2g 19.6 mmol) in H20 (10cm3) is added dropwise producing a red precipitate.
The mixture is stirred 15min before the compound which is washed with H2O, EtOH and ether and dried in air, is isolated. (yield 65% 4.35g)
Ph4As+ et Et4N+ may be prepared in a similar manner. The compounds may also be prepared by combinating equimolar aqueous solution of (NH4)2[MoS4] and [Cu(CN)x ]^(1-x) (produced by combinatingCuSO4.5H20 orCuCN with KCN) followed by the addition of 2-3 equivalents of the quaternary cation.
Thank you very much for your help.
