Alloying Engineering of Defective Molybdenum Sulfide Basal Planes for Enhanced Borrowing Hydrogen Activity in the Thioetherification of Alcohols.

ABSTRACT: The borrowing hydrogen thioetherification of alcohols over heterogeneous catalysts has emerged as an attractive and practical synthetic strategy to prepare thioethers from the perspective of green and sustainable chemistry. Developing efficient catalysts is the key to improve this carbon-sulfur (C-S) bond formation process. Herein, a novel catalyst, namely {Mo_2.89W_0.11S₄}_n, has been prepared by alloying engineering of its basal planes through an innovative synthetic methodology that makes use of isostructural building entities based on molybdenum and tungsten sulfide molecular complexes with M₃S₄ (M=Mo, W) cluster cores. Besides excellent activity and reusability, {Mo_2.89W_0.11S₄}_n
