A novel exchange reaction between diselenides and bis(N,N-dialkylselenocarbamoyl)selenides. Application in the synthesis of tetraselenafulvalene(TSF)
Abstract
A high yield synthesis of tetraselenafulvalene (TSF) involving a novel acid catalysed exchange reaction between diselenides and bis(N,N-dialkyselenocarbamoyl)selenides is reported.
