Aselenocyanate is an ion or chemical compound that contains the -SeCN group, which could be in the form of an anion, SeCN−. Organic selenocyanates also exist.
Some complex ions with transition metals such as silver and mercury (mercuriselenocyanates) are known. Mercuriselenocyanate salts also include K, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd.[1] Complex ions include Fe(NCSe)63−, Fe(NCSe)64−, Fe(NCSe)42−, Co(NCSe)64−, Co(NCSe)42−, Ni(NCSe)64−, Zn(NCSe)64−, Rh(NCSe)64−, Pd(NCSe)42−, Ag(SeCN)2−, Cd(NCSe)42−, Cd(NCSe)64−, Dy(NCSe)63−, Ho(NCSe)63−, Er(NCSe)63−, Pt(NCSe)62−, Au(NCSe)4−, and Hg(NCSe)42−.[2]
For hard metals, the negative charge is on the nitrogen atom which coordinates with the metal atom. Examples include Ti(NCSe)62−, V(NCSe)63−, VO(NCSe)42−, Cr(NCSe)63−, Mn(NCSe)42−, Mn(NCSe)42−, Y(NCSe)63−, Zr(NCSe)62−, Mo(NCSe)63−, Pr(NCSe)63−, Nd(NCSe)63−, Sm(NCSe)63−, Hf(NCSe)62−, Re2(NCSe)82−, Pa(NCSe)84− and U(NCSe)84−.[3]
Selenocyanate can be produced in the reaction of selenium, selenide, selenite or selenate with cyanide ions.[4]
Selenocyanate is oxidised to selenium and cyanate bybis (trifluoroacetoxy) iodobenzene.[5]
Selenocyanate is component of pollution from oil refineries andmine drainage water. Remediation methods have been investigated to extract selenocyanate from water. Methods considered include precipitation by metal salts, or extraction by plants.Indian mustard converts some selenocyanate toselenocystine andselenomethionine, and volatilesdimethylselenide andmethylselenocyanate.[6]
