Positively charged ligands are scarce. Here, we report the synthesis of unprecedented cationic selenium-containing triazapentadiene ligand framework. The reaction between 2-pyridylselenyl reagents and NaN(CN) in a 2:1 ratio produces the sodium complexes featuring the cationic selenium-containing triazapentadiene (SeTAP) ligand. The sodium-to-metal transmetalation allows facile preparation of SeTAP metal complexes, as exemplified by the reactions with CuCl, AgNO, NaAuCl, and FeCl. Density functional theory calculations have been used to analyze and characterize the chalcogen bonding interactions observed in the solid state for these compounds. Moreover, antifungal properties of the SeTAP ligand and its metal complexes were screened for in vitro activity against several phytopathogenic fungi. exhibited prominent sensitivity against the action of most of the tested compounds.

Herein, we describe a novel coupling between ambiphilic 2-pyridylselenyl reagents and nitriles featuring an active α-methylene group. Depending on the solvent employed, this reaction can yield two distinct types of cationic pyridinium-fused selenium-containing heterocycles, 1,3-selenazolium or 1,2,4-selenadiazolium salts, in high yields. This is in contrast to what we observed before for other nitriles.

Developing biodegradable cationic polymers with high antibacterial efficiency and low cytotoxicity is of great significance in biological applications. Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, and selenium-containing compounds are promising in various health-related applications. To combine selenium with biodegradability, selenide-functionalized polycaprolactones (PCL) with different hydrophobic substituents were synthesized followed by selenoniumization.

Ultrasonic approach to the synthesis of the first selenium-containing derivatives of chitin and chitosan has been developed. The synthetic procedure is simple, provides high yields, does not require harsh conditions, and uses water as the reaction medium. The elaborated chitin and chitosan derivatives and their based nanoparticles are non-toxic and possess high antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Owing to the growing hardware capabilities and the enhancing efficacy of computational methodologies, computational chemistry approaches have constantly become more important in the development of novel anticancer metallodrugs. Besides traditional Pt-based drugs, inorganic and organometallic complexes of other transition metals are showing increasing potential in the treatment of cancer. Among them, Au(I)- and Au(III)-based compounds are promising candidates due to the strong affinity of Au(I) cations to cysteine and selenocysteine side chains of the protein residues and to Au(III) complexes being more labile and prone to the reduction to either Au(I) or Au(0) in the physiological milieu.
