M. Bochmann et al., SYNTHESIS OF SOME ALKYL METAL SELENOLATO COMPLEXES OF ZINC, CADMIUM AND MERCURY - X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ME, HG, SE(2,4,6-PR(I)3C6H2), Polyhedron, 11(5), 1992, pp. 507-512
The metal dialkyls MR2 (M = Zn, R = Me, Et, Pr(n), Pr(i); M = Cd, R =
Me) react with the sterically hindered selenol 2,4,6-Pr(i)3C6H2SeH(Ar'
SeH) under mild conditions to give the complexes [RM(SeAr')]4, whereas
the less bulky mesitylene selenol gives the poorly soluble metal bis(
selenolato) complexes. MeHgNO3 reacts with Ar'SeH to give MeHg(SeAr')
whose crystal structure was determined.
