Hydrogen selenide is H2Se, the simplest hydride of selenium. H2Se is a colorless, flammable gas under standard conditions. It is the most toxic selenium compound with an exposure limit: 0.3 ppm over an 8 hour period. This compound has a very irritating smell of decayed horseradish.

tructure

H2Se adopts a "bent" structure with a H-Se-H bond angle of 91°. Consistent with this structure, three IR-active vibrational bands are observed: 2358, 2345, and 1034 cm−1.

Properties

The properties of H2S and H2Se are similar, although the selenide is more acidic with p"K"a = 3.89, and the second p"K"a = 11.0 at 25°C. Reflecting its acidity, H2Se is soluble in water.

Preparation

H2Se can be purchased in cylinders. A number of routes to H2Se have been reported, which are suitable for both large and small scale preparations.
*H2Se is usually prepared by the action of water on Al2Se3, concomitant with formation of hydrated alumina. A related reaction involves the acid hydrolysis of FeSe.::Al2Se3 + 6 H2O unicode|⇌ 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 H2Se

*According to the Sonoda method, H2Se is generated from the reaction of H2O and CO on Se in the presence of Et3N.
*H2Se can by synthesized by the direct reaction of H2 with elemental selenium at >350°C.

Selenium metal can be recovered from H2Se through a reaction with aqueous sulfur dioxide (SO2).::2 H2Se + SO2 unicode|⇌ 2 H2O + Se + S

Applications

*H2Se is commonly used in the synthesis of Se-containing compounds; it adds across alkenes. Illustrative is the synthesis of selenoureas from nitriles.

*H2Se gas is used to dope semiconductors with selenium.
