A simple and efficient synthesis of solutions of pure SeCl2 in THF or dioxane (ca. 0.4 M) at 23 °C was achieved by treatment of elemental selenium with an equimolar amount of SO2Cl2. SeCl2 was characterized by 77Se NMR and Raman spectra. SeCl2 forms 1:1 or 1:2 adducts with tetramethylthiourea (tmtu) or tetrahydrothiophene (tht), respectively. The crystal structure of SeCl2·tmtu (1) reveals a T-shaped geometry [d(Se-Cl) = 2.443(4) A] with weak intramolecular Se-Cl interactions [d(Se-Cl) = 3.276(4) A]. Crystals of 1 are triclinic, space group P1, with a = 8.473(3) A, b = 9.236(3) A, c = 7.709(4) A, α = 109.90(3)°, β= 92.26(4)°, γ = 107.89(3)°, V = 532.9(4) A 3, and Z =2. The complex SeCl2(tht)2 (2) adopts a square planar geometry with d(Se-Cl) = 2.4149-(8) A. Crystals of 2 are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a - 15.6784(8) A, b = 9.1678(4) A, c = 9.1246(4) A, β= 110.892(2)°, V = 1225.3(1) A,3 and Z = 4. The reaction of Ph3PS with SeCl2 gives Ph3PCl2 and a complex mixture of selenium Sulfides SenS8-n (n = 1-5), which were identified by 77Se NMR. Halogen exchange between SeCl2 and Me3SiBr in THF yields thermally unstable SeBr2 (ca. 0.4 M) characterized by 77Se NMR and Raman spectra.

77Se NMR spectroscopy has been applied to the study of heterocyclic selenium sulfides SenS8-n obtained from the molten mixtures of the elements with up to 50 mol % selenium. The assignment of the spectra was based on the combined information from the spectra of the natural-abundance samples and from those of the corresponding 77Se-enriched samples. The main selenium-containing components in these mixtures were SeS7 and 1,2-Se2S6 with smaller amounts of 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-isomers of Se2S6, 1,2,3-, 1,2,4-, and 1,2,5-isomers of Se3S5, 1,2,3,4-, 1,2,3,5-, 1,2,4,5-, and 1,2,5,6-isomers of Se4S4, the 1,2,3-isomer of Se5S3, and Se8. In addition, Se6, which is in equilibrium with Se8, could be observed in some samples. The most abundant species within the given isomeric series were those having all selenium atoms adjacent to each other. The trends in the chemical shifts and in the 77Se-77Se coupling constants are presented, and the composition of the phases as a function of the initial melt composition is discussed.
