Abstract

Se5S in CS2 solution at 20°C spontaneously decomposes to give a mixture of 8 selenium-rich cyclic molecules which have been identified by reversed-phase HPLC and 77Se NMR spectroscopy as Se6, Se7, Se8, Se6S, Se7S, 1,2-Se6S2, 1,5-Se6S2, and 1,4-Se4S2. NMR spectra of Se5S, Se7S, and 1,5-Se6S2 have been measured for the first time; Raman spectra of solid Se5S and Se7S as well as crystal data of Se7S are reported in addition. A mechanism based on nucleophilic attack on Se5S is proposed for the formation of the products.
