Abstract

The displacement of terminal CO ligands in Fe₂(μSe ₂C₃H₅CH₃)(CO)₆ (1) by triphenylphosphane, trimethyl phosphite, and bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane (dppe) li:jands is investigated. Treatment of 1 with 1. equiv. of triphenylphosphane afforded Fe2(μ-Se₂C₃H ₅CH₃)(CO)₅(PPh₃) (2). The mono- and disubstituted phosphite complexes Fe₂(μSe₂C ₃H₅CH₃)(CO)₅P(OMe)₃(3) and Fe₂(μ-Se₂C₃H₅CH ₃)(CO)₄-[P(OMe)₃]₂ (4) were obtained from the reaction of 1 with excess P(OMe)₃ at reflux in toluene. In contrast, the reaction of 1 with 1 equiv. of dppe in the presence of Me ₃NO-2H₂O gave a mixture of Fe₂(μ-Se ₂C₃H₅CH₃)(CO)₄(κ ²-dppe) (5) and [Fe₂(μ-Se₂C ₃H₅CH₃)(CO)₅]₂(μ-dppe) (6). The newly synthesized complexes 2-6 were fully characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ⁷⁷Se{¹H} NMR, and ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 2 has proved to be a catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of the weak acid, acetic acid, to give molecular hydrogen.
