Abstract
Treatment of [Et4N]2[WSe4] with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMA) afforded the alkyne diselenolene complex [Et 4N]2[W(2-DMA){Se2C 2(CO2Me)2}2] (1) along with a minor product, [Et4N]2[W(Se){Se2C2(CO 2Me)2}2] (2). The crystal structures of both complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is best described as a metallacyclopropene with two ene-diselenolate ligands.
