Abstract: Two new iron-selenolate complexes [Cp*Fe(mu-SeMe)(3)FeCp*] (Cp* = eta(5)-C5Me5) (1) and [Cp*Fe(mu-SeMe)(3-)FeCp*][FeCl3] (2) were prepared by the oxidative addition reaction of MeSeSeMe with [Cp*FeCl](2) in 25% and 20% yields, respectively. In refluxing toluene, the methyl groups in the selenolate ligands of complex 1 were removed, affording a cubane cluster [Cp*4Fe4Se4] (3) in 50% yield. Complex 1 was oxidized by HBF4 to give [Cp*Fe(mu-SeMe)(3)FeCp*][BF4] (4), and the reverse reduction reaction occurred in the presence of CoCp2. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
