Taming the Oxidative Power of SeO<sub>3</sub> in 1,4-Dioxane, Isolation of Two New Isomers of Mixed-Valence Selenium Oxides, and Two Unprecedented Cyclic Esters of Selenic Acid
The
reaction of (SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub> with 1,4-dioxane
(diox, dioxane) with or without diluting solvent led to the isolation of the
unprecedented esters of selenic acid-1,2-ethyl selenate (CH<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>SeO<sub>2</sub> and the glyoxal diselenate O<sub>2</sub>Se[(OCHO)<sub>2</sub>]SeO<sub>2</sub>. It was possible to isolate
an unknown dimeric form of Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (Se<sub>4</sub>O<sub>10</sub>·(diox)<sub>2</sub>) and a geometrical isomer of the mixed-valence
oxide <i>trans</i>-Se<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub>, both stabilized
by dioxane. The dioxane adduct of monomeric selenium trioxide SeO<sub>3</sub>·diox was obtained from the reaction of (SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub> with dioxane in liquid SO<sub>2</sub>. The reaction mechanism
for the formation of these compounds was elucidated, and the molecular
structure of the unstable form of the selenium trioxide was determined,
consisting in a trimeric arrangement (SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>
