The alkynyl telluroether (phenylethynyl ferrocenyltelluride) (1) reacts with [M(CO)₅(THF)]; (M = Cr, Mo, W) to form the monocoordinated adduct, [M(CO)₅(Fc₂Te₂)] (2-4) and dicoordinated compounds [{M(CO)₅}₂(Fc₂Te₂)] (5-7) (Fc = ferrocenyl). Compounds 2-4 readily react with respective [M(CO)₅(THF)] to give the corresponding 5-7. In contrast, reaction of 1 with [Fe(CO)₅] leads to a scission of the Te-C bond of 1, reaction of the ensuing PhCC fragment and the TeFc fragment with ironcarbonyl to form the unusual fused ferracyclopentenone units, [{Fe(CO)₄C(O)C(Ph)=C}₂] (8) and the isomeric Fc₂Te₂ compounds, (9) [Fe₂(CO)₆(µ-TeFc)₂] and 10 [Fe₂(CO)₆(µ-TeFc)₂]. In addition, thermolytic reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with 1 gives high nuclearity clusters [Ru₄(CO)₁₁{μ₄-Te-η¹:η¹:η⁴-CC(Fc)C₆H₄}] (11) and [Ru₄(CO)₁₀{μ₃-Te-η¹: η¹: η⁴:η²:η²-CC(Fc)C₆H₄}] (12) which are formed by Te-C bond breaking, C-C coupling and rearrangement. The easy cleavage of Te-C_sp bond also displays the role of ligand for the formation of new clusters. The depth of fragmentation of phenylethynyl ferrocenyltelluride in the resulting complexes depends on the formal electron deficit of the decarbonylated metal fragment. Bonding properties of 11 and 12 have been discussed using the DFT studies.

炔基碲醚(苯基乙炔基二茂铁基碲化物)( 1 )与[M(CO) ₅ (THF)]反应；(M = Cr, Mo, W) 形成单配位加合物 [M(CO) ₅ (Fc ₂ Te ₂ )] ( 2 - 4 ) 和双配位化合物 [{M(CO) ₅ } ₂ (Fc ₂ Te _{2 )} )] ( 5-7 ) (Fc = 二茂铁基)。化合物2 - 4容易地与相应的[M（CO）反应₅（THF）]，得到相应的5 - 7。相反，1与[Fe(CO)₅ ] 导致1的 Te-C 键断裂，随后的 PhC C 片段和 TeFc 片段与羰基铁反应形成不寻常的稠合铁环戊烯酮单元，[{Fe(CO) ₄ C(O)C(Ph )=C} ₂ ] ( 8 ) 和异构的 Fc ₂ Te ₂化合物， ( 9 ) [Fe ₂ (CO) ₆ (μ-TeFc) ₂ ] 和10 [Fe ₂ (CO) ₆ (μ-TeFc) ₂ ]。此外，[Ru ₃ (CO) ₁₂ ] 与1给出高核团簇 [Ru ₄ (CO) ₁₁ {μ ₄ -Te-η ¹ :η ¹ :η ⁴ -CC(Fc)C ₆ H ₄ }] ( 11 ) 和 [Ru ₄ (CO) ₁₀ {μ ₃ -Te-η ¹ : η ¹ : η ⁴ :η ² :η ² -CC(Fc)C ₆ H ₄ }] ( 12 )由Te-C键断裂、CC偶联和重排形成。Te-C _sp的易裂解键还显示配体在形成新簇中的作用。苯乙炔基二茂铁基碲化物在所得配合物中的断裂深度取决于脱羰金属碎片的形式电子缺陷。已使用 DFT 研究讨论了11和12 的粘合性能。
