Abstract

An X-ray crystallographic study of adducts of trialkylphosphine selenides with >1 equivalent of diiodine reveals that solid But3PSeI3 consists of cation pairs [(But3PSe)2I+]2 intercalated between I5 layers and that solid R2R′PSeI7 (R = But or Pri, R′ = Pri) contains [R2R′P–Se–I]+ cations with weak secondary I‥I interactions to polyiodide networks.
