Thermolysis of a benzene solution containing Fe(CO) 5 and ferrocenylacetylene yielded three new compounds: [Fe(CO) 2 {η 5 -2,5-Fc 2 C 5 H 2 CO}C(Fc)dCH] (1), [Fe(CO) 2 {η 2 :η 2 -2,5-Fc 2 C 4 H 2 -Fe(CO) 3 }-µ-CO] (2), and [Fe(CO) 3 {η 2 :η 2 -2,5-Fc 2 C 4 H 2 CO}] (3). When a benzene solution containing ferrocenylacetylene and M(CO) 6 (M ) Mo, W) was refluxed, 1,2,4-triferrocenylbenzene (4) was formed. In contrast to the reaction of ferrocenylacetylene with Fe(CO) 5 , which leads to cyclization with insertion of a CO molecule, in the reaction with M(CO) 6 no insertion of CO takes place during cyclization. However, if the reactions with M(CO) 6 are carried out in the presence of S 8 -powder or Se-powder, insertion of these chalcogen atoms during cyclization does take place and 2,5-diferrocenylthiophene (5) and 2,5-diferrocenylselenophene (6) are formed respectively, along with 4. All new compounds were characterized by IR and 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Structures of 1-5 were established by singlecrystal X-ray crystallography.
(Triphenylphosphine)(selenourea)gold(I) chloride [Ph3PAuSeC‐ (NH2)2]+ Cl‐ (1) and the corresponding dppm derivative dppm[AuSeC(NH2)2]22+ 2l‐ (2) are prepared from SeC‐ (NH2)2 and the appropriate chloro(phosphine)gold(I) complex. The reaction between 1 and aqueous Na2CO3 leads to the neutral complex μ‐selenido{bis[(triphenylphosphine)gold(I)]} (Ph3PAu)2Se (3). An analogous reaction with 2 leads to a dark red oil, which has not yet been characterized. The reaction between 3, Ph3PAuCl, and AgSbF6 leads to the ionic complex [(Ph3PAu)3Se]+SbF6‐ (4) in good yield. X‐ray structure analyses of 1,2, and 3 confirm the expected linear geometry at the gold atom and reveal short intramolecular Au – Au contacts for 2 and 3. Short nonbonding distances between the nitrogen atoms of the amino groups and the chloride ions in the crystal structures of 1 and 2 probably indicate hydrogen bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
