Photochemistry of a tellurosilyl(carbonyl)iron(II) complex. Generation of a novel Te-Si-Fe three-membered cyclic intermediate

Okada H, Okazaki M, Tobita H, Ogino H

The tellurosilyliron complex Cp*(CO)(2)FeSiMe2TePh (1) was synthesized by treatment Of Cp*(CO)(2)FeSiMe2Cl with LiTePh. Irradiation of complex 1 and acetone in toluene led to dissociation of a CO ligand and insertion of acetone into the silicon-tellurium bond to afford the five-membered metallacycle Cp*(CO)Fe{kappa(2)(Si,Te)-Me2SiOCMe2TePh}.
