“…Since selenium compounds are very important in synthesis and also in medical applications [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], we give in the present study the properties of the corresponding selenium compounds (X-SeO2-NNN, X = F, Cl and Br). Especially we were interested in the question, whether or not the selenium atom, being larger than sulfur, could change the geometry such that conjugation between the Se=O and the N=N bonds might be reduced, which would in turn reduce the preference of the gauche conformation over others.…”
