Abstract

The reaction of 1,1'-ferrocene triselenide, Fe(C5H4)2Se3 (I), with bromine or phenyltellurium tribromide, PhTeBr3, involves the oxidation of compound I to form salts [Fe(C5H4)2Se3]+FeBr 4 - (II) and [Fe(C5H4)2Se3]+PhTeBr 4 - (III), respectively. Depending on the crystallization conditions, the reaction of ferrocene with PhTeBr3 affords salt [Fc]+[PhTeBr4]- (IVa), its solvate with benzene{[Fc]+[PhTeBr4]-}2 · C6H6 (IVb), or etherate [Fc]+[Ph2Te2Br6OH]- · 0.5(C2H5)2O (V). The structures of compounds II, III, IVa, IVb, and V are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (CIF files CCDC 1054193 (II), 1054192 (III), 1054194 (IVa), 1054195 (IVb), and 1054196 (V)).
