SYNTHESES AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF (Et_4N)_2(Fe_2Se_2(SPh)_4) AND (Et_4N)_2(Fe_4Se_4Cl_4)

<正> Since the discovery of iron-sulfur proteins , a number of analogous compounds of the active sites of iron-sulfur proteins has been synthesized and characterized . Due to the similarity between sulfur and selenium, some selenoproteins with similar active site as iron-sulfur proteins were found . We have synthesized a series of iron-selenium compounds in correlative study with the iron-sulfur compounds. In this paper, we will discuss the syntheses and crystal stuctures of the title compounds. The spectroscopic properties of these compounds have been under investigation.
