Abstract
In this work, R3PSe (R = Me, Et, n-Bu, t-Bu and Ph) were studied experimentally using NMR spectroscopy in solution and the solid-state in combinaton with quantum chemical methods. The study shows that the NMR parameters of these phosphine selenides, such as δP, δSe, and 1JPSe, are sensitive to subtle changes in the electronic environment of the P and Se atoms. Consequently, phosphine selenides R3PSe can serve as promising spectral probes for the detection and quantitative investigation of various non-covalent interactions. Additionally, the variations of R in phosphine selenides influence the observed NMR spectral parameters, primarily through effects such as π-backdonation and hyperconjugation, which have been observed experimentally and confirmed theoretically.
