SeCH 2 CH(Me)CH 2 Se-μ)(CO) 6 ] (A), by 1,1 0-bis (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino)benzene (dppbz) or 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino)acetylene (dppac) is investigated. It is found that the reaction product depends on the diphosphine used. In the case of dppf, the product is an intramolecular bridged disubstituted complex [Fe 2 {μ-SeCH 2 CH(Me) CH 2 Se-μ}(CO) 4 {μ,κ 1 ,κ 1 (P,P)-dppf}] (1), while the dppac-reaction produces an intermolecular bridged tetra-iron model [Fe 2 {μ-SeCH 2 CH(Me)CH 2 Se-μ} (CO) 5 ] 2 {μ,κ 1 ,κ 1 (P,P)-dppac} (2). However, the dppbz-reaction gives [Fe 2 {μ-SeCH 2 CH(Me)CH 2 Se-μ}(CO) 4 {κ 2 (P,P)-dppbz}] (3) in which the dppbz ligand is bonded to one Fe atom in a chelated manner. The newly prepared complexes (1-3) have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H-, 13 C{H}-, 31 P{H}-, 77 Se{H}-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure determination. The electrochemical behavior of 2 and 3, in absence and presence of acid, is described by cyclic voltammetric measurements in CH 2 Cl 2 .
