Abstract

AbstractCuBr and Fe(OOCCH3)2 react with PhSeSiMe3 in acetonitrile in the presence of the diammonium salt [nPr3N(CH2)6NnPr3]Br2 to yield ionic [nPr3N(CH2)6NnPr3][CuFe3Br3(SePh)6]. The neutral complexes [Cu5Fe(SePh)7(PPh3)4] and [Cu4Fe3(SePh)10(PPh3)4] were obtained by similar reactions of different stoichiometric mixtures of CuOOCCH3 and FeCl2 with PPh3 and PhSeSiMe3. The crystal structures of the compounds were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis to give new structural types of molecular cluster compounds formed by copper, iron and selenium. Thermal treatment of [Cu5Fe(SePh)7(PPh3)4] and [Cu4Fe3(SePh)10(PPh3)4] resultsin the formation of mixtures of binary Cu2Se and ternaryCuFeSe2.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
