title: Diazabutadiene complexes of selenium as Se2+ transfer reagents.
abstract: Alkyl and aryl substituted diazabutadiene ligands are shown to support a highly electrophilic "Se(2+)" synthon, which can be utilized in ligand exchange reactions to generate Se centred dicationic coordination complexes.
