Organic selenocyanates as strong and directional chalcogen bond donors for crystal engineering

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jul 25;53(60):8467-8469. doi: 10.1039/c7cc04833e.

Abstract

Organic bis(selenocyanate) derivatives act as powerful chalcogen bond donors for the elaboration of 1D extended structures upon co-crystallization with 4,4'-bipyridine as a ditopic chalcogen bond acceptor.
