Preformed molecular complexes of metals with organoselenium ligands: Syntheses and applications in catalysis

Organoselenium compounds have been used extensively as building blocks for the development of catalysts for several chemical transformations during the last two decades. During last 08 years, a large number of organoselenium ligands and their preformed molecular complexes with several metals (such as palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, zinc, copper, nickel, gold, silver, bismuth and iron) have been designed using different methods for the purpose of...
