The oxidation of [M2(CO)10] (M = Mn or Re) with Xe(OEF5)2 (E = Se or Te) in dichloromethane at room temperature afforded [M(OEF5)(CO)5] (M = Mn or Re, E = Se or Te) which have been characterised by mass spectrometry, IR and NMR spectroscopies and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy
