Alkynyl Selenolate Complexes of Iron, Nickel, and Molybdenum
摘要:
The successive treatment of terminal alkynes, HC CR (R = C6H4Me-4, SiMe3), with "BuLi and gray selenium affords LiSeC CR, which in turn reacts with [FeCl(CO)(2)(eta-C5H5)], [NiCl(PPh3)-(eta-C5H5)], and [MoI(CO)(3)(eta-C5H5)] to afford the alkynylselenolato complexes [Fe(SeC CR)-(CO)(2)(eta-C5H5)], [Ni(SeC CR)(PPh3)(eta-C5H5)], and [Mo(SeC CR)(CO)(3)(eta-C5H5)], two examples of which have been structurally characterized. When [MoI(CO)(3){HB(pz)(3)}] (pz = pyrazol-l-yl) was however employed as the electrophile, low yields of the selenoketenyl complex [Mo(eta(2)-C,C'-SeCCR)(CO)(2){HB(pz)(3)}] were obtained via the presumed intermediacy of the alkynylselenolato complex [Mo(sigma-SeC CR)(CO)(3){HB(pz)(3)}], which is perhaps destabilized relative to the selenoketenyl complex by the octahedral enforcer character of the HB(pz)(3) ligand.
