Application

Selenourea [(SeC(NH2)2)] has been used as a selenium (Se) precursor for the insertion of Se into protein crystals.
It can also be used as a reagent to synthesize:
  • Selenazoles from α -bromo ketones presence of β -cyclodextrin.
  • Symmetrical diaryl selenides by C-Se cross coupling reaction in presence of coper oxide nanaoparticles as a catalyst.
  • CdSe nanocrystals.

We report a general strategy for obtaining high-quality, large-area metal-chalcogenide semiconductor films from precursors combining chelated metal salts with chalcoureas or chalcoamides. Using conventional organic solvents, such precursors enable the expeditious formation of chalco-gels, which are easily transformed into the

Pulse radiolysis coupled with absorption detection has been employed to study one-electron oxidation of selenomethionine (SeM), selenocystine (SeCys), methyl selenocysteine (MeSeCys), and selenourea (SeU) in aqueous solutions. Hydroxyl radicals (*OH) in the pH range from 1 to 7 and specific

Reactions of biological oxidizing agents, such as hydroxyl radicals ((*)OH), singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) with selenourea were studied. The kinetics of the reactions was followed using time-resolved techniques, and the bimolecular rate constants were determined.

Two-dimensional nanostructures in the form of ultra-thin crystalline films of CdSe and CuSe have been prepared at the organic-aqueous interface by reacting toluene solutions of metal cupferronates with an aqueous solution of N,N-dimethyl selenourea. The films have been examined using
