Three novel selenophenolato hydrido iron(II) complexes [cis-(H)(SeAr)Fe(PMe₃)₄] (4–6) (Ar=C₆H₅ (4), p-MeOC₆H₄ (5) and o-MeC₆H₄ (6)) were prepared through the reaction of Fe(PMe₃)₄ with selenophenols ArSeH (1–3) via Se–H activation. The iron hydrido complexes 4, 5 and 6 could catalyze the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones. Among them complex 5 is the best catalyst for this process. Furthermore, α,β-unsaturated alcohols could be obtained from the selective reduction reactions of the corresponding α,β-unsaturated carbonyls catalyzed by hydrido iron(II) complex 5. This catalytic system has good tolerance for some common groups but it is easy to reduce the nitro group to an amino group. The experiments indicate that the chemoselectivity for this catalytic system is CHO>NO₂>C(O)CH₃. The crystal structure of 6 was determined by X-ray diffraction.

三种新颖的硒代酚醛氢化铁（II）配合物[顺式-（H）（SeAr）Fe（PMe ₃）₄ ]（4–6）（Ar = C ₆ H ₅（4），p -MeOC ₆ H ₄（5）和ö -MeC ₆ ħ ₄（6））至铁（PME的反应制备₃）₄与selenophenols ArSeH（1-3经由硒-H活化）。铁络合物氢基4，5和6可以催化醛和酮的氢化硅烷化。其中络合物5是该方法的最佳催化剂。此外，由氢化铁（II）配合物5催化的相应α，β-不饱和羰基的选择性还原反应可以得到α，β-不饱和醇。该催化体系对某些常见基团具有良好的耐受性，但易于将硝基还原为氨基。实验表明，该催化体系的化学选择性为CHO> NO ₂ > C（O）CH ₃。通过X射线衍射确定6的晶体结构。
