Characterization of an intramolecular nonbonded interaction between selenium and fluorine in solution

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1998.969

NMR measurements of J_Se...F coupling constants (22.7-84.2 Hz) of o-selenobenzyl fluoride derivatives in solution provided strong evidence for weak intramolecular selenium-fluorine nonbonded interaction, in which fluorine donates electrons to selenium.
