Reactions of [Fe3(μ3-Q)(CO)9]2− (Q = Se, Te) with organic and organometallic dihalides of group 15 elements – an approach to functionalised clusters
Abstract
A number of novel nido-clusters of the type [Fe3(μ3-SbR)(μ3-Q)(CO)9] containing the heavier group 16 elements (Q = Se, Te) and Sb as group 15 element with attached functional groups (R = Cp*, (η5-C5H4tBu)Fe(CO)2) have been obtained by the reaction of K2[Fe3(μ3-Q)(CO)9]
(Q = Se, Te) with RSbX2
(X = Br, I). Furthermore, a first cluster [Fe3(μ3-BiFe(CO)2(η5-C5H4tBu))(μ3-Se)(CO)9] containing a Bi/Se combination has also been synthesised in a similar manner. The novel complexes were comprehensively characterised by various spectroscopic methods as well as by
