A Study of the Higher Electronic Transitions of Selenoformaldehyde, CH2Se

Laser-induced gas-phase pyrolysis of dimethyl selenium: chemical deposition of selenium and poly(selenoformaldehyde)

“…Another potentially polymerizing species is a highly reactive selenoformaldehyde, H 2 C=Se [11][12][13][14] that has been detected in the course of the flash pyrolysis of dimethyl selenium [11] and that may yield [15] a yet unreported poly(selenoformaldehyde) (Scheme 1).…”
