Jinxiongs paper on Phosphinine Selenides was published in ChemPlusChem. We report the formation of a co-crystalline adduct consisting of a Phosphinine selenide and an organohalide. Moreover, the phosphorus heterocycle could be crystallized with diiodine to form a 1:1 adduct. We also observed that the labile P=Se bond of phosphinine selenide allows the formation of KSeCN in the presence of KCN, which shows that it can act as an efficient selenium transfer reagent. Congratulations to Jinxiong and Nathan.
