Selenium hexafluoride (selenium(VI) fluoride), SeF 6 Index of chemical compounds with the same name This set index article lists chemical compounds articles associated with the same name.
Another similar method involves heating the rare earth oxide, with a rare earth fluoride and selenium dioxide with a caesium bromide flux. If glass or silica containers are used, they are eaten away by the molten flux and silicates are formed some of which may be fluoride selenite silicate compounds. [2]
Pentafluoroselenium hypofluorite can also formed from selenium oxyfluoride and fluorine gas in the presence of potassium fluoride. [4] [5] SeOF 2 + KF → K + [SeOF 3] − — F 2 → K + [SeOF 5] − — F 2 → KF + SeOF 6. The reaction of fluorine gas and Hg(OSeF 5) 2 produces SeOF 6 in much higher yield and with less SeF 6. [3]
Selenium tetrafluoride (Se F 4) is an inorganic compound.It is a colourless liquid that reacts readily with water. It can be used as a fluorinating reagent in organic syntheses (fluorination of alcohols, carboxylic acids or carbonyl compounds) and has advantages over sulfur tetrafluoride in that milder conditions can be employed and it is a liquid rather than a gas.
Seleninyl fluoride can be produced by the reaction of selenium oxychloride and potassium fluoride. [3] 2 KF + SeOCl 2 → 2 KCl + SeOF 2. It can also be produced by the reaction of selenium tetrafluoride with water or selenium dioxide. [2] SeF 4 + H 2 O → SeOF 2 + 2 HF SeF 4 + SeO 2 → 2 SeOF 2
Selenium is found in metal sulfide ores, where it substitutes for sulfur. Commercially, selenium is produced as a byproduct in the refining of these ores. Minerals that are pure selenide or selenate compounds are rare. The chief commercial uses for selenium today are glassmaking and pigments. Selenium is a semiconductor and is used in photocells.
Selenium hexafluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula SeF 6. It is a very toxic colourless gas described as having a "repulsive" odor. [ 5 ] It is not widely encountered and has no commercial applications.
[1] [2] [3] Selenium belongs with oxygen and sulfur to the group 16 elements or chalcogens, and similarities in chemistry are to be expected. Organoselenium compounds are found at trace levels in ambient waters, soils and sediments. [4] Selenium can exist with oxidation state −2, +2, +4, +6. Se(II) is the dominant form in organoselenium ...
