Popis: An efficient synthesis and structural aspects of a novel class of hexakis(alkylseleno)benzenes [(RSeCH 2 ) 6 C 6 ] (R = Me, i Pr, n Bu, s Bu, t Bu, n Pn, n Hx, n Oct, 1-methylnaphthalene) by the reaction of hexakis(bromomethyl)benzene with RSe − ions is demonstrated. Preliminary data on ion-sensing properties reveal that these species may act as selective ionophores for Hg 2+ ions.
