Preparation and reactions

edit

Selenium oxydichloride can be prepared by several methods, and a common one involves the conversion of selenium dioxide to dichloroselenious acid followed by dehydration:[3]

SeO2 + 2 HCl → Se(OH)2Cl2
Se(OH)2Cl2 → SeOCl2 + H2O

The original synthesis involved the redistribution reaction of selenium dioxide and selenium tetrachloride.

Pure selenium oxydichloride autoionizes to a dimer:[4]

SeOCl2 ↔ (SeO)2Cl+
3 + Cl−

The SeOCl2 is generally a labile Lewis acid and solutions of sulfur trioxide in SeOCl2 likely form [SeOCl]+[SO3Cl]− the same way.[5]

The compound hydrolyzes readily to form hydrogen chloride and selenium dioxide,[citation needed] and very few organic compounds dissolve in it without reaction. At elevated temperatures, it is a strong oxidizer, yielding a chloride, selenium dioxide, and diselenium dichloride.[6]
