Several synthetic methods are used to prepare naphthalene based aromatic 1,2-diselenoles. A new one-pot synthesis starting from naphthalene is used to produce the known compound naphtho[1,8-c,d][1,2]diselenole (Se2naph). Friedel-Crafts alkylation is used on Se2naph to substitute either one tert-butyl group to form 2-tert-butylnaphtho[1,8-c,d][1,2]diselenole (mt-Se2naph) or two tert-butyl groups to form 2,7-di-tert- butylnaphtho[1,8-c,d][1,2]diselenole (dt-Se2naph). Bromination of mt-Se2naph results in dibromination of the naphthalene ring, rather than reaction at selenium, to give 4,7-dibromo-2-tert-butylnaphtho[1,8-c,d][1,2] -diselenole (mt-Se2naphBr2). Reduction of the Se-Se bond in Se2naph, mt-Se2naph, dibenzo[c,e][1,2]diselenine (dibenzSe2), or diphenyl diselenide (Se2Ph2) with LiBEt3 H, followed by in-situ addition of [PtCl 2{P(OPh)3}2] yields the fourcoordinate mono-and dinuclear platinum(II) bis(phosphite) complexes [Pt(Se2naph){P(OPh) 3}2] (1), [Pt(mt-Se2naph)-{P(OPh) 3}2] (2), [Pt2(dibenzSe2) 2{P(OPh)3}2] (3), cis-[Pt(SePh) 2-{P(OPh)3}2] (4), and trans-[Pt 2(SePh)4{P(OPh)3}2] (5).
