| | Potassium selenocyanate Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Potassium selenocyanate, a crystalline solid, is a reagent for the conversion of alkyl halides to nitriles and for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also used in the field of energy storage devices. | | Chemical Properties | white to light beige crystalline powder or needles | | Uses | Increasing interest in solid state NMR of heavy-metal nuclei results in the preparation of several Hg-thiocyanate and selenocyanate compounds as potential models. Bowmaker, G.A. et al. Inorg. Chem. 1998, 37, 1734. | | Uses | Potassium selenocyanate is used to prepare triphenylphosphine selenide by reacting with triphenylphosphine. It finds application in solid state NMR of heavy-metal nuclei which results in the preparation of several mercury thiocyanate and selenocyanate compounds. | | Application | Potassium selenocyanate can be used to:
(1) Redox-active electrolyte to enhance the performance of carbon-based supercapacitors.
(2) Starting material for the one-pot stereoselective synthesis of alkyl styryl selenides.
(3) Precursor to synthesize Cu and Ni complexes with antioxidant/anti-inflammatory activities.
(4) Selenylating agent to prepare stereoselective selenoglycosides and selenium-linked disaccharides.
| | Safety Profile | Poison by
intraperitoneal route. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
NOx, CN-, K2O, and Se. See also
SELENIUM COMPOUNDS and
CYANATES. | | storage | Crystalline KSeCN is hygroscopic and decomposes with the elimination of selenium upon prolonged exposure to air. It should be stored in sealed containers. Potassium selenocyanate is a malodorous and highly toxic compound. All reactions and handling should be carried out in a well-ventilated hood.
| | Purification Methods | Dissolve it in acetone, filter and precipitate it by adding Et2O. |
