Abstract

The reaction of sodium phenylselenolate and copper(I) chloride generates in situ a “CuSePh” species, which can be stabilized by N, N′‐donor ligands such as bpy (2, 2′‐bipyridine) or phen (1, 10‐phenanthroline) in order to generate compounds with μ2‐SePh– or μ3‐SePh– groups connecting the copper atoms. The intermediate stabilization of mononuclear “CuSePh” building blocks by the coordination N, N′‐donor ligands prevents from the rapid formation of less soluble polymers and gives access to three new compounds, [{Cu2(bpy)2(μ3‐SePh)}{CuCl2}2]2, [{Cu4(phen)3(μ2‐SePh)(μ3‐SePh)}2(μ2‐Cl)2] (CuCl2)2·2(PhSe)2, and [Cu6(bpy)2(μ2‐SePh)2(μ3‐SePh)4]·(THF).
