Abstract The system Se-SeCl4 contains the intermediate phase SeCl which melts incongruently at −48 °C. The tetrachloride is dimorphous with a stable α-and a metastable ß-modification. The crystal structure of ß-SeCl4 was determined and shown to be an isotype of TeCl4 with tetrameric cubane-like molecules Se4Cl16.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
