“…These structural aspects are worth exploring as weak SBIs (Iwaoka et al, 2001(Iwaoka et al, , 2002a in the compounds of heavy chalcogens (Se and Te) are ascribed important roles in structural chemistry, such as the stabilization of otherwise unstable organo-chalcogen compounds and supramolecular associations (Tiekink & Zukerman-Schpector, 2010;Werz et al, 2002) and possessing biological activities (Reich et al, 2016;Bartolini et al, 2017;Engman et al,1992;Mukherjee et al, 2010). Some organoselenated alkyl/arylamines have been synthesized (Singh & Srivastava, 1990;Srivastava et al, 1994;Revanna et al, 2015), but further investigations on their single-crystal X-ray structures, especially of chiral derivatives, are limited (Musher et al,1969;Raghavendra Kumar et al, 2006;Chivers & Laitinen, 2015;Bleiholder et al, 2006, Prabhu Kumar et al, 2019. Therefore, the synthesis and discussions on the single-crystal structural features of (R)-2-(benzylselanyl)-1-phenylethanaminium hydrogen sulfate monohydrate, [BnSeCH 2 CH(Ph)NH 3 + ](HSO 4 À ), are the subject of the present paper.…”
