phosphorusselenium
Phosphorusselenium refers to compounds that contain both phosphorus and selenium, broadly described as phosphorus selenides. It does not denote a single well-defined molecule but a family of related inorganic compounds and materials with various phosphorus-to-selenium ratios. These materials are of interest in inorganic chemistry and materials science for their covalent bonding and potential electronic and optical properties.
Chemistry and structure in this family are characterized by covalent P–Se bonds. Depending on composition and
Synthesis and handling methods typically involve direct combination of elemental phosphorus and selenium at elevated temperatures,
Applications and relevance of phosphorus selenides are primarily in research contexts. They are studied as precursors
