Abstract

Abstract A new symmetrical diseleno peri-bridged naphthalene, dinaphtho [1, 8-b, c]-1, 5- diselenocin (1), and 1, 8-bis (methylseleno) naphthalene (2) have been synthesized. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 and 2 showed one reversible oxidation peak with remarkably low oxidation potential. Selenide 1 in CHCl 3 under air and scattered light undergoes oxidation to give the corresponding Se-oxide 11. The peri selenium-selenium interaction of 1 and 2 ...
