The direct electrochemical synthesis of phenylselenolato complexes of some main group and late transition elements

Abstract

RAJESH KUMAR and DENNIS G. TUCK. Can. J . Chem. 67, 127 (1989). The electrochemical oxidation of anodes of selected Main Group or late transition metals (M) in non-aqueous solutions of diphenyl diselenide gives the corresponding M(SePh), compounds in high yields (M = Zn, Cd, n = 2; M = Cu, Ag, T1, n = 1; M = Sn, n = 4). The addition of either 1,lO-phenanthroline or triphenylphosphine to the electrochemical cell yields adducts in the case of cadmium and copper. The 77Se nmr spectra have been recorded.

The use of sacrificial anodes for the electrochemical synthesis of metallic complexes

“…The electrolysis of an acetonitrile solution of the same disulfide proligands [300] (HL96-L96H, Scheme 15) or those derived from bis (2-aminoethyl) proligand under a nitrogen atmosphere were described [301]. For copper, silver, and thallium, the value of 1.0 mol F -1 corresponds to the following reaction sequence: …”
