Selenothiocarbonate complexes of iron: Structure of CpFe(CO)2SeC(S)O-4-C6H4Cl

Stable complexes of general formula CpFe(CO)2SeC(S)OR, where R = Ph (1a), 4-C6H4Cl (1b), 4-C6H4F (1c), C6F5 (1d), 4-C6H4CH3 (1e), were prepared by the reaction of (μ-Se)[CpFe(CO)2]2 with ROC(S)Cl at room temperature. When a THF solution of 1 was photolyzed the chelate complexes CpFe(CO)(κ2Se,S-SeC(S)OR) (2) were obtained in good yields. All of these complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure of CpFe(CO)2SeC(S)O-4-C6H4Cl (1b) is reported.
