title: E2(CN)2 (E = S, Se) and related compounds.
abstract: A synthetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical study of Ex(CN)2 (E = S, Se; x = 1-3) is described. The X-ray structures of Se2(CN)2 and Se3(CN)2 have been determined. Se2(CN)2 crystallizes in a chiral space group with the CN groups approximately gauche.
