P. Mathur et al., CYCLIZATION OF DIACETYLENES ON [FE-2(CO)(6)(MU-SE-2)] - STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF [(CO)(6)FE-2(MU-SECC(H)C(CH3)SECSE)], Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Chemical sciences, 107(4), 1995, pp. 443-446
Room temperature reactions of [Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-Se-2)] with the diacetyl
enes, RC=CC=CH(R=Me, n-Bu) yield the products, [(CO)(6)Fe-2{mu-SeCC(H)
C(R)SeCSe}]; X-ray analysis of the R = Me compound has been carried ou
t and reveals an unusual cyclisation of the diacetylene with incorpora
tion of a selenium atom to form a cyclic C4Se ligand attached to the F
e-2(CO)(6)Se-2 core.
