A series of silylated ferrocenoyl chalcogenide reagents, FcC(O)ESiMe 3 (E = S, Se, Te; Fc = ferrocene), can be prepared in very good yield from FcC(O)Cl and LiESiMe3. These reagents are used in the preparation of triphenylphosphine-ligated copper and silver ferrocenoyl thiolate and selenolate complexes, [M4(E{O}CFc)4(PPh 3)4], (M = Cu, Ag; E = S, Se) and [Cu2(μ- Se{O}CFc)2(PPh3)3] from solubilized copper(i) and silver(i) acetate. The structures of these complexes have been determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The driving force for these reactions is the thermodynamically favorable formation and elimination of AcOSiMe 3. The synthesis and characterization of both starting reagents and cluster complexes are discussed. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008.
