| Description | Analytically pure selenonyl bis(acetate) SeO2(O2CCH3)(2) was prepared by the reaction of SeO3 with a stoichiometric amount of acetic anhydride in nitromethane; it crystallizes in the monoclinic P2(1)/n space group with one molecule in the asymmetric unit and a = 5.2044(1) angstrom, b = 21.6580(5) angstrom, c = 6.7074(2) angstrom, and = 93.628(2)degrees. The selenium atom binds to two oxo groups and two acetate anions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Analysis of the Hirschfeld surface indicated the presence of numerous C-HO interactions. |
