μ(2)-Acetato-κ(2) O:O′-(4,4′-bipyridyl-κN)tris­(diethyl di­thio­phosphato-κ(2) S,S′)-μ(3)-sulfido-tri-μ(2)-sulfido-trimolybdenum(IV) diethyl ether monosolvate

In the title compound, [Mo(3)(CH(3)COO)(C(4)H(10)O(2)PS(2))(3)S(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·C(4)H(10)O, the complex mol­ecule has a trinuclear incomplete cuboidal structure which is coordinated by three kinds of ligands, namely, diethyl di­thio­phosphate, acetate and 4,4′-bipyridyl. If Mo—Mo bonds are ignored, each Mo atom can be considered as six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Mo—Mo distance of 2.6880 (5) Å for two the Mo atoms bridged by the acetate ligand is shorter than the other two Mo—Mo distances [2.7490 (5) and 2.7566 (5) Å]. One ethyl group is disordered between two conformations in a 0.65 (3):0.35 (3) ratio. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O inter­actions link the trinuclear mol­ecules related by translation in [100] into chains. The crystal packing exhibits short inter­molecular S⋯S contacts of 3.1886 (13) Å. In other words, in this crystal packing, a supramolecular structure is constructed by the C—H⋯O and S⋯S interactions.
