Abstract

1H–{77}Se and 13C–{1H} magnetic double resonance experiments have been used to give the signs of 77Se–13C and 77Se–1H coupling constants in a range of organoselenium compounds in which the selenium atom has zero to 3 electron lone pairs. 1J(77Se–13C) is always negative but receives a substantial positive increment when the selenium atom loses all its electron lone pairs. The variations of 1J(77Se–13C) depend in a complex way upon molecular structure, but the observation of a magnitude of more than 45 Hz for this coupling constant is generally indicative of the presence of a direct selenium–carbon bond. 3J(77Se--H) is found to be always positive, as is 2J(77Se--H) except in species in which the selenium atom has no electron lone pairs.
