Abstract

Treatment of 2-phenyl-1,3-bis(selenocyanate)propane with Fe3(CO)12 yielded the expected diiron diselenolato complex [(μ-SeCH2)2CHC6H5]Fe2(CO)6 (1). Reaction of complex 1 with bis(diphenylphosphine)methane (dppm) in refluxing xylene gave an intra-molecular phosphine bridging complex [(μ-SeCH2)2CHC6H5]Fe2(CO)4(μ-dppm) (2), while reaction of complex 1 with 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) in the presence of the decarbonylating agent Me3NO afforded an inter-molecular phosphine bridging tetrairon complex {[(μ-SeCH2)2CHC6H5]Fe2(CO)5}2(μ, κ 1, κ 1-dppf) (3). All three complexes were characterized by physical–chemical and spectroscopic methods and for complexes 2 and 3 by X-ray crystallography. Their electrochemical behaviors, especially in the presence of HBF4 for 2, were investigated by cyclic voltammetry.
