Description/Abstract

The cleavage of the Se-Se bond in [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4](2)Se-2 (1) was achieved by treatment with SO2Cl2 (1:1 molar ratio) or elemental halogens to yield [2-(Me NCH-)C6H4]SeX [X = Cl (2), Br (3), I (4)]. Oxidation of 1 with SO2Cl2 (1:3 molar ratio) gave [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SeCl3 (5). [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SeS(S)CNR2 [R = Me (6), Et (7)] were prepared by reacting [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SeBr with Na[S2CNR2] . nH(2)O (R = Me, n = 2; R = Et, n = 3). The reaction of 3 with K[(SPMe2)(SPPh2)N] resulted in isolation of [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Se-S-PMe2=N-PPh2=S (8). The compounds were characterized by solution NMR spectroscopy (H-1, C-13, P-31, Se-77, 2D experiments). The solid-state molecular structures of 2, 4-8 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. All compounds are monomeric, with the N atom of the pendant CH2NMe2 arm involved in a three-center-four-electron N center dot center dot center dot Se-X (X = halogen, S) bond. This results in a T-shaped coordination geometry for the Se(II) atom in 2, 4, 6-8. In 5, the Se(IV) atom achieves a square pyramidal coordination in the mononuclear unit. Loosely connected dimers are formed through intermolecular Se∙∙∙Cl interactions (3.40 angstrom); the overall coordination geometry being distorted octahedral. In all compounds hydrogen bonds involving halide or sulfur atoms generate supramolecular associations in crystals.
