  • SeOCl2 - Selenium oxychloride. It's closest relative of thionyl chloride. This liquid has better dissolving ability towards most non-metals and other substances. In this video I'll show the synthesis and chemical properties of selenium oxydichloride.

    Why is this so fascinating to watch?? It blows my mind sometimes how chemistry works. When you see dangerous sodium reactions and see how dangerous chlorine is and then realize that the 2 together are edible as table salt is just the craziness thing. There are so mant chemicals that don't play well with each other and others that go from deadly to life sustaining. It's endlessly fascinating.

      In the case of selenium, the point is that you can evaporate this solvent and get the substance originally dissolved in it!

      @@ChemicalForce the most amazing thing about selenium oxydichloride I find -- is the thing that it can dissolve selenium and arsenic, antimony and tellurium irrespective of their allotropic state :)
      there is no heroism in dissolving red selenium or yellow arsenic, as CS2 or even a boringly standard toluene / xylene can do that too :)
      but being able to dissolve their metallic forms, and even being able to do so to heavier & less soluble tellurium and antimony -- is truly amazing :)

    At that time stamp, you said thionyl chloride can dehydrate cobalt dichloride hexahydrate to the monohydrate, but the chemical equation shows 5•H20 hexahydrate.
    Does it remove just one •H20 to make 5•H20 pentahydrate? Or does it remove 5•H20 to get to the monohydrate? Thank you for your time sir.
