“…Indeed, no hypervalent sulfur compounds containing the
I−S−I moiety are known, and only three
hypervalent selenium compounds containing the
I−Se−I framework have recently been structurally
characterized [71, 115]. Only three examples of a
Br−S−Br type hypervalent sulfur compound with
dibromine have been structurally characterized [59, 88, 116],
while analogous compounds from selenium containing substrates are
numerous [65, 69, 85, 88, 117]. As expected, hypervalent
sulfur and selenium compounds containing the linear
Cl−E−Cl ( = , ) group
are very well known [65, 69, 86].…”
