Abstract

PhSe^-Na⁺ generated in situ by reduction of PhSeSePh, with sodium borohydride on reaction with N-(2-bromoethyl) phthalimide in N₂ atmosphere results in the formation of N-[2-(phenylseleno)ethyl]phthalimide (L¹). The title compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR techniques. The crystal structure of L¹ has been solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares. The ligand L¹ crystallize in the monoclinic space group. Selenium forms two Se-C linkages, one is due to Se-C_alkyl and the other one to Se-C_aryl. Further, the ligation reaction of L¹ with complex 1 is also explored whose identities are characterized by spectroscopic techniques.
