title: Functionalizing the surface of II-VI clusters: redox active centres on the adamantoid complex [Cd4Cl4[mu-(SeC5H4)Fe(C5H5)]6]2-.
abstract: Trimethylsilylselenoferrocene 1 has been prepared in good yield. The reactive silyl group on 1 is used as a driving force for the synthesis [Cl4Cd4[mu2-Se(C5H4)Fe(C5H5))6]2- 2, a Cd4Se6 adamantoid cluster with six surface ferrocenyl groups.
