Hydrogen Selenide

EINECS 231-978-9
CAS No. 7783-07-5 Density 2.12
PSA 0.00000 LogP -0.15580
Solubility 12,700mgl-1 Melting Point -65.73℃
Formula H2Se Boiling Point -41.3℃
Molecular Weight 80.98 Flash Point N/A
Transport Information N/A Appearance colourless gas with a very unpleasant smell
Safety A deadly poison by inhalation. Very poisonous irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Causes central nervous system effects in humans. An allergen. Can cause damage to the lungs and liver as well as conjunctivitis. It has been found that repeated exposures to concentrations of 0.3 ppm prove fatal to experimental animals by causing a pneumonitis, as well as injury to the liver and spleen. Causes garlic odor of breath, dizziness, nausea. Concentrations of 0.3 ppm are readily detected by odor, but there is no noticeable irritant effect at that level. Concentrations of 1.5 ppm or higher are strongly irritating to the eyes and nasal passages.

As in the case of hydrogen sulfide, the odor of hydrogen selenide in concentrations below 1 ppm disappears rapidly because of olfactory fatigue. The odor and irritating effects do not offer a dependable warning to workers who may be exposed to gradually increasing amounts and therefore become used to it. Due to its extreme toxicity and irritating effects, it seldom is allowed to reach a concentration in which it is flammable in air. Very little data are available on possible chronic effects of this material, but it is logical to assume that when the concentration of this gas is low enough to avoid the irritant effects, only the systemic effects will be noticeable.

Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame; will react vigorously with powerful oxidizing agents, such as H2O2, HNO3. Dangerous; forms explosive mixtures with air; keep away from heat and open flame. See also SELENIUM COMPOUNDS and HYDRIDES.

Hydrogen Selenide Uses

 Hydrogen Selenide (CAS NO.7783-07-5)  is commonly used in the synthesis of Se-containing compounds; it adds across alkenes. Illustrative is the synthesis of selenoureas from nitriles. Also, it is used to dope semiconductors with selenium.

Hydrogen Selenide Production

 H2Se can be purchased in cylinders. A number of routes to H2Se have been reported, which are suitable for both large and small scale preparations. H2Se is usually prepared by the action of water on Al2Se3, concomitant with formation of hydrated alumina. A related reaction involves the acid hydrolysis of FeSe.
Al2Se3 + 6 H2O ⇔ 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 H2Se
According to the Sonoda method, H2Se is generated from the reaction of H2O and CO on Se in the presence of Et3N.
H2Se can by synthesized by the direct reaction of H2 with elemental selenium at T > 300 °C.
H2Se can also be prepared by means of different methods based on the in situ generation in aqueous solution of nascent hydrogen used as reducing agent, a.o., boron hydride, Marsh test and Devarda's alloy.
Elemental selenium can be recovered from H2Se through a reaction with aqueous sulfur dioxide (SO2).
2 H2Se + SO2 ⇔ 2 H2O + Se + S
Elemental selenium can also be directly obtained by reduction of selenite by strong reducing agent such as, e.g., ascorbic acid, hydrazine chlorhydrate, or hydroxylamine chlorhydrate.
