A series of organochalcogen ester substituted η 3-butadienyl complexes of the type [MoCl(CO)2 (η3-CH2C(COXR)C=CH2)(phen)] n(phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, R = alkyl, aryl) were prepared from the acyl chloride precursor (1) and either thiols (X = S, n = 1-4), selenols (X = Se, n = 1,2) or bis(organochalcogen) mercurials, Hg[XR]2 (X = Se, Te, n = 1,2), and the structure of the first selenoester substituted η3-butadienyl complex (4) was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Reactions of various nucleophiles or electrophiles with 1, 4 or the ester substituted complex, XR = OMe, were examined, and compared to those of related η3-allyl analogues and to their predicted behaviour based upon the structural evidence and molecular modelling calculations.
