Selenidobis(dithiolene)molybdenum(IV) and -tungsten(IV) complexes were synthesized and characterized by several methods including X-ray crystallographic analysis. The five-coordinate M (V)Se species were accessed by one-electron oxidation of the M (IV)Se complexes. M (VI)Se complexes were suggested to be formed as an intermediate in oxygen atom transfer from Me 3NO to the M (IV)Se centers.

Sulfurization of five-coordinate [W(IV)O(1,2-benzenedithiolate)(2)](2-) proceeds under very mild conditions to form seven-coordinate [W(VI)O(eta(2)-S(2))(1,2-benzenedithiolate)(2)](2-), from which H(2)S was generated by treatment with H(2). This is the first functional model for the fourth tungsten-containing WOR4 enzyme. Kinetics and isotope-scrambling experiments have suggested the existence of six-coordinate W(V)(eta(1)-S(2)) species as a key reaction intermediate.
