“…Our research group has a vast experience in the synthesis and characterization of metal chalcogenolate clusters, polymers, and complexes, by exploring the reactivity of M ( EAr ) building blocks – mainly Hg(SePh) 2 , Hg(TePh) 2 and Cd(SePh) 2 – in redistribution reactions . This methodology is a good alternative to the well‐established method used by Fenske, Corrigan and co‐workers, which involves the use of silyl reagents E (SiMe 3 ) 2 and RE SiMe 3 as sources of chalcogenide and chalcogenolate ligands, respectively, for the synthesis of metal chalcogenide and chalcogenolate nanoclusters …”
