“…The chemistry of selenites (SeIV) and selenates (SeVI) has undergone extensive development during the past 20 years (Choudhury et al, 2002;Krivovichev et al, 2005;Song et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2014;Kovrugin et al, 2015a;Berdonosov et al, 2018). Due to the interaction of selenite groups, metals, and halide ions in soft-soft and hard-hard interactions, metal oxyhalides with selenite anions exhibit a complex and varied crystal chemistry (Aliev et al, 2014;Kovrugin et al, 2015b;Kovrugin et al, 2015c;Kovrugin et al, 2016;Charkin et al, 2017;Kovrugin et al, 2017).…”
