Abstract

An adamantane-shaped, ferrocenyl-substituted tin selenide complex, [(FcSn)4Se6] (1; Fc = ferrocenyl), and a ferrocenyl-substituted tin telluride five-membered ring, [(Fc2Sn)3Te2] (2), were obtained upon treatment of FcSnCl3 with K2E (E = Se, Te). Complex 1 further reacts with Na2S·9H2O and [Cu(PPh3)3Cl] to form a ternary complex, [(CuPPh3)6(S/Se)6(SnFc)2] (3). We discuss structures, optical and electrochemical properties as well as Mössbauer spectra.
