Selenium tetrafluoride (Se F 4) is an inorganic compound.It is a colourless liquid that reacts readily with water. It can be used as a fluorinating reagent in organic syntheses (fluorination of alcohols, carboxylic acids or carbonyl compounds) and has advantages over sulfur tetrafluoride in that milder conditions can be employed and it is a liquid rather than a gas.
The 3-center 4-electron (3c–4e) bond is a model used to explain bonding in certain hypervalent molecules such as tetratomic and hexatomic interhalogen compounds, sulfur tetrafluoride, the xenon fluorides, and the bifluoride ion.
Seleninyl fluoride can be produced by the reaction of selenium oxychloride and potassium fluoride. [3] 2 KF + SeOCl 2 → 2 KCl + SeOF 2. It can also be produced by the reaction of selenium tetrafluoride with water or selenium dioxide. [2] SeF 4 + H 2 O → SeOF 2 + 2 HF SeF 4 + SeO 2 → 2 SeOF 2
Selenium is found in metal sulfide ores, where it substitutes for sulfur. Commercially, selenium is produced as a byproduct in the refining of these ores. Minerals that are pure selenide or selenate compounds are rare. The chief commercial uses for selenium today are glassmaking and pigments. Selenium is a semiconductor and is used in photocells.
Pentafluoroselenium hypofluorite can also formed from selenium oxyfluoride and fluorine gas in the presence of potassium fluoride. [4] [5] SeOF 2 + KF → K + [SeOF 3] − — F 2 → K + [SeOF 5] − — F 2 → KF + SeOF 6. The reaction of fluorine gas and Hg(OSeF 5) 2 produces SeOF 6 in much higher yield and with less SeF 6. [3]

In chemistry, a hypervalent molecule (the phenomenon is sometimes colloquially known as expanded octet) is a molecule that contains one or more main group elements apparently bearing more than eight electrons in their valence shells.
