Subject selenium ligands

Other areas of selenium chemistry, such as selenium rings, selenides, " organoselenium compounds, " and the focus of older, more comprehensive accounts of Se halide chemistry will not be covered here. Additionally, the vast environmental chemistry of selenium, for example, its aqueous and sediment speciation, plant uptake, nutritional and human health aspects, and appearance in coafl and coal-derived ash, are beyond the scope of this review. The previous reviews on Se-containing ligands, " biochemistry of selenium,as well as other relevant aspects, remain some of the most valuable sources for information on these subjects. 

A review of the complexes of sulfur and tellurium in 1964 was followed by an extensive survey of the heavy chalcogen complexes in a comprehensive text on the chemistry of selenium, tellurium and polonium in 1966. The subject of coordination in organoselenium and organotellurium chemistry, together with the structural chemistry of complexes of selenium and tellurium with sulfur- and selenium-containing ligands, has received recent attention in...
