Abstract

An efficient synthesis and structural aspects of a novel class of hexakis(alkylseleno)benzenes [(RSeCH2)6C6] (R = Me, iPr, nBu, sBu, tBu, nPn, nHx, nOct, 1-methylnaphthalene) by the reaction of hexakis(bromomethyl)benzene with RSe− ions is demonstrated. Preliminary data on ion-sensing properties reveal that these species may act as selective ionophores for Hg2+ ions.

Graphical abstractSyntheses of sterically encumbered hexakis(alkylseleno)benzenes and their functional behavior are described. Preliminary data on ion-sensing properties reveal that these species may act as selective ionophores for Hg2+ ions.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
