Cluster excision of polymeric {Mo3S7Cl4}(n) phases with chiral phosphane (+)-1,2-bis[(2R,5R)-2,5-(dimethylphospholan-1-yl)] ethane ((R,R)-Me-BPE) or with its enantiomer ((S,S)-Me-BPE) yields the stereoselective formation of the trinuclear cluster complexes [Mo3S4{(R,R)-Me-BPE}(3)Cl-3](+) ([(P)-1](+)) and [Mo3S4{(S,S)-Me-BPE}(3)Cl-3](+) ([(M)-1](+)), respectively. These complexes posses an incomplete cuboidal structure with the metal atoms defining an equilateral triangle and one capping and three bridging sulfur atoms. The P and M symbols refer to the rotation of the chlorine atoms around the C-3 axis, with the capping sulphur atom pointing towards the viewer. Incorporation of copper into these trinuclear complexes affords heterodimetallic cubane-type compounds of formula [Mo3CuS4{(R,R)-Me-BPE}(3)Cl-4](+) ([(P)-2](+)) or [Mo3CuS4{(S,S)-Me-BPE}(3)Cl-4](+) ([(M)-2](+)), respectively, for which the chirality of the trinuclear precursor is preserved in the final product. Cationic complexes [(P)-1](+), [(M)-1](+), [(P)-2](+), and [(M)-2](+) combine the chirality of the metal cluster framework with that of the optically active diphosphane ligands. The known racemic [Mo3CuS4(dmpe)(3)Cl-4](+) cluster (dmpe=1,2-bis(dimethylphosphanyl)ethane) as well as the new enantiomerically pure Mo3CuS4 [(P)-2](+) and [(M)-2](+) complexes are efficient catalysts for the intramolecular cyclopropanation of 1-diazo-5-hexen-2-one (3) and for the intermolecular cyclopropanation of alkenes, such as styrene and 2-phenylpropene, with ethyl diazoacetate. In all cases, the cyclopropanation products were obtained in high yields. The diastereoselectivity in the intermolecular cyclopropanation of the alkenes and the enantioselectivity in the inter- or intramolecular processes are only moderate.
