Bi2Fe3(CO)9與親核性試劑MeLi和Te,Se反應後會得到H3BiFe3(CO)9, [BiFe3(CO)10]-和[EFe3(CO)9]2-(E=Se,Te)的化合物。
而Te2Fe3(CO)9與MeLi反應時，因金屬金屬鍵的斷裂重組，形成[TeFe3(CO)9]2-, Fe2(CO)6(TeCH3)2和[Te6Fe8(CO)24]2-。
利用電化學分析來研究已知的產物[TeFe3(CO)9]2-, [Te4Fe5(CO)14]2-, [Te6Fe8(CO)24]2-, [Te10Fe8(CO)20]和Te2Fe3(CO)9的氧化還原反應。
[TMBA]2[Te10Fe8(CO)20]與[Cu2(dppm)2(CH3CN)4][BF4]2以等莫耳數於THF溶劑中加熱反應，可得到結構有趣的團簇化合物[Fe4Te4(CO)10(dppm)]，此化合物已由X-ray單晶繞射決定其結構，[Fe4Te4(CO)10(dppm)]結構可視為dppm接在Fe4Te4的兩個對角的Fe原子上。
以等莫耳數的Sb2O3和Cr(CO)6在強鹼的甲醇溶液中反應，以[PPh４]+當作配對陽離子，得一未知化合物，此化合物再溶於二氯甲烷中加熱迴流，可單離出化合物[PPh4]2[SbC1Cr3(CO)15]，此化合物已由X-ray單晶繞射決定其結構，[SbC1Cr3(CO)15]2-可視為中心的Sb原子以四面體形式外接一個C1原子及3個Cr(CO)5原子團。

The reaction of Bi2Fe3(CO)9 with MeLi forms H3BiFe3(CO)9, [BiFe3(CO)10]- while the treatment with E/KOH(E=Te, Se) form clusters [EFe3(CO)9]2-(E=Se,Te).On the other hand, the reaction of Te2Fe3(CO)9 with MeLi gives [TeFe3(CO)9]2-, Fe2(CO)6(TeCH3)2 and [Te6Fe8(CO)24]2- as a consequence of severe bond breakage and formation.
The redox reactions of the known compounds [TeFe3(CO)9]2-, [Te4Fe5(CO)14]2-, [Te6Fe8(CO)24]2-, [Te10Fe8(CO)20] and Te2Fe3(CO)9 by cyclovoltammetry.
The reaction of [TMBA]2 [Te10Fe8(CO)20] and [Cu2(dppm)2(CH3CN)4][BF4]2 in a ratio of 1:1 in oil bath forms[Fe4Te4(CO)10(dppm)].[Fe4Te4(CO)10(dppm)] consists of a Te4Fe4 cubane in which two iron atoms are a bridged by a dppm ligand.
The treatment of Sb2O3 and Cr(CO)6/KOH in methanol, then reflux in CH2CI2 produces [SbClCr3(CO)15]2-.[SbCICr3(CO)15]2-, contains a central Sb atom tetrahedrally coordinated to three Cr(CO)5 groups and a Cl atom.
