Exploring the Effects of Se Basicity on a Te···Se Interaction Supported by a Rigid Indazolium Backbone

Abstract:With an interest in chalcogen bonding, we use a rigid
indazolium
backbone to install a formally zero-valent Se center next to a divalent
Te center, allowing us to investigate the effects of oxidation of
the Se center on the observed Te···Se interaction.
Through spectroscopic and computational comparison of the Se(0) species
with its Se(II) counterpart and their monochalcogen analogues, we
experimentally and computationally investigate the effect of modulating
Se basicity on the resulting Te···Se interaction. C… Show more
