<p> A 19F nmr study has shown that SeO2F2, SeOF2 and SeOCl2 behave as bases (B) towards SbF5 forming the adducts, (SbF5)n•B where n = 1-5 and in which they are bonded to
antimony through an oxygen. Structural information about these adducts was also obtained. Solutions of SbF5 in SeOF2 and SeOCl2 were also shown to contain the SbF-6 and cis and
trans [SbF4 (B)2]+ ions. The order of basicity towards SbF5 for the following bases is, SeOCl2 > SeOF2 > SbF-6 > SOF2 > SeO2F2 > SO2ClF.</p> <p> A 77Se nmr study of the SeOCl2 solvent system has shown that the order of Lewis acidity for the following acids is, SbF5 ~ SO3 > SbCl5 > SnCl4 > SbCl3 > AsCl3.</p> <p> A new selenium oxyfluoride, SeOF4 has been identified and is shown to form an ionic adduct SeOF+3SbF-6 with SbF5.</p> <p> Polyselenium oxyfluorides, F(SeO3)nSeO2F, where n=1-3, were prepared and are found to have acyclic structures. The 77Se spectra of Se4^2+ and Se8^2+ were studied. </p> <p> Redistribution reactions between selenium and phosphorus halides and oxyhalides were studied using the nmr resonances of 19F, 31P and 77Se.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
