Diacetylenic Derivatives of Fe2(CO)6(μ-EE′): Spectroscopic Investigations of Fe2(CO)6{μ-EC(H) = C(C≡ CMe)E′} (E = E′, E ≠ E′; E, E′ = S, Se, Te)

The diacetylenic adducts, Fe2(CO)6{μ-EC(H) = C(C≡ CMe)E′} (E = E′, E ≠ E′; E, E′ = S, Se, Te) (1–8) have been obtained from the room temperature stirring of Fe2(CO)6(μ-EE′) with HC ≡ CC ≡ CMe in methanol solvent containing sodium acetate. Compounds 1–8 have been characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, 77Se, and l25Te) spectroscopy. Trends in the chemical shifts of 77Se and 125Te NMR spectra of Fe2(CO)6{μ-EC(H) = C(C≡ CMe)E′} with a variation of EE′ are discussed.
