This book explores the chemistry of organic compounds containing carbon-selenium bonds with a special emphasis on cyclic di-selenides and selenenyl-sulfides. These compounds exhibit unique properties and are utilized in various applications, including organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Selenium, a chalcogen like oxygen and sulfur, forms bonds with carbon that are weaker and longer than their sulfur or oxygen counterparts, leading to distinct reactivity.
