“…It was not until 1978, when the HN(SePPh 2 ) 2 acid and its K salt syntheses were first reported, that the coordination capacity of the N(SePPh 2 ) 2 moiety began to be tested [3]; during the course of these studies an easy, expeditious way of preparing the HN(SePPh 2 ) 2 acid and its K salt was developed [4b,c]. The metal cores to which the N(SePPh 2 ) 2 ligand has been attached range from main group elements (K [4b], groups 11 [5] and 12 [6]; Al and Ga [7], In [8], Sn [6,9a,b], Pb [6], Sb [9,10], Bi [8,10], Se [11] and Te [12]), transition metals (V [13], Cr [13], Re [14a,b], Ru [15a,b,c,d], Os [16a,b], Co [5d], Rh [4b,15b,c], Ir [15b,17], group 10: Ni [4a], Pd [4a,b,c,15c] and Pt [4a,b,c]) to rare-earth metals: Y [18a,b], La, Gd, Er, Yb [19], and Sm [20].…”
