Abstract
AbstractReactions of Fe3(CO)12 with cyclic diselenides or diselenocyanatoalkanes produced two different products, namely the dinuclear [Fe2(CO)6{μ‐(SeCH2)2(CH2)n}] (n= 5 (1 a), 6 (1 b), 7 (1 c), 8 (1 d)) and the tetranuclear models [Fe2(CO)6{μ‐(SeCH2)2(CH2)n}]2 (n=5 (2 a), 6 (2 b), 7 (2 c), 8 (2 d)). The resulting complexes were fully characterized by a variety of analytical techniques (NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry) and by X‐ray structure determination of complexes 1 c, 1 d, 2 c and 2 d. Furthermore, we investigated the redox properties and the catalytic behaviour of complexes 1 a‐d in the presence of acetic acid (AcOH) as a source of protons.
