Abstract

Reaction of [M][(μ-RE)(μ-CO)Fe2(CO)6] (E = S, Se; M = Et3NH, Na) with N2CHCO2Me give the intermediate [M][(μ-RE)(μ-N2CHCO2Me)Fe2(CO) 6] (II). Action of II with counterion Et3NH+ yields neutral complexes (μ-RE)(μ-η2-N=NCH2CO2Me)Fe 2(CO)6 (1, RE = ButS; 2, RE = PhS; 3, RE = PhSe). Treatment of II (M=Na) with MeI affords (μ-RE)[μ-η2-N=NCH(Me)CO2Me]Fe 2(CO)6 (4, RE = ButS; 5, RE = PhS). In the case of RE = PhSe, the reaction of II with MeI gives two isomers, (μ-PhSe)[μ-η2-N=NCH(Me)CO2Me]Fe 2(CO)6 (6) and (μ-PhSe)[μ-η1-N=NCH(Me)CO2Me]Fe 2(CO)6 (7). The structure of complex 7 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique.
