In a controlled manner, half or all the bis(trimethylsilyl)amido ligands of 1 can be replaced by selenolato ligands, resulting in the first selenolatoiron complexes 2 and 3 with three-coordinate iron centers. They are stabilized by secondary metal-framework bonds (here metal-carbon) and could, since they are coordinatively unsaturated, possibly serve as model compounds of the FeMo cofactor of nitrogenases.
