μ-(Diselenium)bis(tricarbonyliron), (μ-Se2)Fe2(CO)6, has been found to have reactivity typical of organic diselenides, RSeSeR. Reaction with two molar equivalents of LiBEt3H converts (μ-Se2)Fe2(CO)6to the dianion, (μ-LiSe)2Fe2(CO)6. Organolithium reagents, RLi, cleave its SeSe bond, giving (μ-LiSe)(μ-RSe)Fe2(CO)6. Low valent transition metal species, e.g., (Ph3P)2Pt, insert into the SeSe bond. (μ-Se2)Fe2(CO)6is fragmented by the action of dicobalt octacarbonyl, giving (μ3-Se)FeCo2(CO)9. |
