title: CSe2-free synthesis of [1,3]diselenole-2-thione and its application to syntheses of iodinated tetraselenafulvalenes (TSeFs).
abstract: We developed a new CSe2-free protocol for the synthesis of [1,3]diselenole-2-thione and converted it to tetraselenafulvalene derivatives without any selenium-sulfur exchange side reactions.
