Abstract

Photolysis of a hexane solution of ferrocenylacetylene and sulfur powder in presence of Cr(CO)6 resulted in the formation of 2,6-diferrocenyldithiine and 2,5-diferrocenylthiophene. Similar reactions with Mo(CO)6 or W(CO)6 gave only the thiophene derivative. Formation of ferrocenyl-substituted thioketone complexes was observed in the reaction of ferrocenylacetylene with water and sulfur, in presence of W(CO)6. Use of D2O confirmed water as source of protons for the conversion of acetylenic CH to CH3.

Graphical abstractPhotochemical reactions of ferrocenylacetylene with sulfur in presence of M(CO)6 (M = Cr, Mo, W) gives 2,5-diferrocenylthiophene and, with M = Cr, 2,6-diferrocenyldithiine. Formation of ferrocenyl-substituted thioketone complexes was observed in the reaction of ferrocenylacetylene with water and sulfur, in presence of W(CO)6.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
