Abstract: Tn this paper, synthesis, structure and properties of a new Mo-Fc-Scluster complex (Et4N)3(Mo2FeS8O2)·CH3CN (Ⅰ) with oxygen coordinated to Mo atom are reported, in which UV-Vis. spectra, IRspectra, Mossbauer spectra, eletrochemical properties and catalytic activity reducing C2H3 to C2H4 are involved. Our conclusions obtained from contrasting properties of the complex with that of the complex (Et4N)3(Mo2FeS8O3) (Ⅱ) and (Bu4N)3(Mo2FeS8O) (Ⅲ) previously reported by us are as follows (1) the electrochemical data show that the order of ability for obtaining electron is Ⅰ<Ⅱ<Ⅲ, (2) the order of stability in air is Ⅰ > Ⅱ>Ⅲ, (3) the order of symmetry is Ⅱ>Ⅰ > Ⅲ, (4) the order of reducing C2H3 to C2H4 by catalysis is contrary to that of stability.
