as a solvent was purified by distillation over P2O5. Styrene (1)
was used freshly distilled. Di(2ꢀpyridyl) diselenide (2) (m.p.
48—49 °C) and 2ꢀpyridineselenenyl chloride (4) (m.p. 118—119 °C)
were synthesized according to the known procedures.24

Reaction of styrene 1 with the antimony pentachloride—diꢀ
(2ꢀpyridyl) diselenide 2 system (general procedure). A solution of
SbCl5 (0.075 g, 0.25 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was
added to a solution of diselenide 2 (0.079 g, 0.25 mmol) in
CH2Cl2 (10 mL) at –40 °C with stirring under dry argon. Forꢀ
mation of white amorphous precipitate was observed. The reacꢀ
tion mixture was stirred for 15 min at –40 °C, followed by
a dropwise addition of a solution of styrene 1 (0.052 g, 0.5 mmol)
in CH2Cl2 (5 mL), then the mixture was stirred at this temperaꢀ
ture for 30 min until the precipitate was completely dissolved.
The mixture was warmed to room temperature, the solvent was
evaporated in vacuo. After recrystallization of the residue from
CH2Cl2, compound 3a (0.20 g, 97%) was obtained.

Reactions with the ratio alkene : diselenide : antimony penꢀ
tachloride equal to 2 : 1 : 2 was performed similarly. After heatꢀ
ing the reaction mixture to room temperatures, the solvent was
half evaporated in vacuo, the thus formed crystals of compound
3b were filtered off. The mother liquor was concentrated, the
residue was recrystallized from CH2Cl2 to obtain compound 3a.

Reaction of styrene 1 with 2ꢀpyridineselenenyl chloride 4 in
the presence of antimony chlorides (general procedure). A soluꢀ
tion of SbCl3 (0.057 g, 0.25 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (10 mL)
was added to a suspension of finely powdered 2ꢀpyridineseleneꢀ
nyl chloride (4) (0.096 g, 0.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (15 mL) at –40 °C
with stirring under dry argon. Formation of white amorphous
precipitate was observed. The reaction mixture was stirred for
15 min at –40 °C, followed by a dropwise addition of a solution
of styrene 1 (0.052 g, 0.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL), then the
mixture was stirred at this temperature for 30 min until the preꢀ
cipitate was completely dissolved. The mixture was warmed to
room temperatures, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. Reꢀ
crystallization of the residue from CH2Cl2 yielded compound 3a
(0.189 g, 92%).
The structures of compounds 3a,b were solved by the direct
method and refined by the fullꢀmatrix least squares method in
the anisotropic approximation for nonhydrogen atoms. The antiꢀ
mony atom in the structure of 3a occupies a particular position
2–
in the center of inversion, resulting in the SbCl5 anion being
disordered over two positions with the equal populations. All the
hydrogen atoms, whose positions were calculated geometrically,
were included into the refinement in the isotropic approximaꢀ
tion with the fixed positional (the riding model) and thermal
(Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)) parameters. All the calculations were perꢀ
formed using the SHELXTL program package.26

Xꢀray diffraction studies of compounds 3a and 3b. Parameters
of the unit cells and intensities of reflections for compounds 3a
and 3b were measured on a Bruker APEXꢀII CCD automatic
threeꢀcircle diffractometer with a twoꢀcoordinate detector
(T = 100 K, MoꢀKα radiation, graphite monochromator, ϕꢀ and
ωꢀscanning). Allowance for the absorption of Xꢀray radiation
was made for the data obtained using the SADABS program.25
