Abstract

The full series of quasibinary alkali-metal selenocyanates was synthesized either by oxidation of the respective cyanides (A=Li−Rb) or by metathesis (A=Cs). For Li[SeCN] only ball-milling and subsequent annealing led to the isolation of the quasibinary selenocyanate. Their structures were refined from single-crystal and powder X-ray data. The respective solid-state IR and Raman spectra were interpreted with the aid of solid-state quantum-mechanical calculations and DSC-TGA measurements allowed for extraction of melting points. Only for Li[SeCN] a possible phase transition was observed that is discussed on the basis of VT-PXRD experiments. It is also the only quasibinary selenocyanate to form a hydrate (Li[SeCN] ⋅ 2H2O).
