Vi. Manovyuvenskii et Sa. Pushkin, REACTION OF CARBON-MONOXIDE WITH SELENIUM AND MONOETHANOLAMINE, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 66(2), 1993, pp. 388-391
A study was carried out on the reaction of selenium with carbon monoxi
de and monoethanolamine leading to selenocarbamate salts. This reactio
n proceeds after an induction period. The reaction rate during this pe
riod is proportional to the amount of gas absorbed, which is attribute
d to the autocatalytic formation of reactive polyselenides.
