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

The direct lattice strain, either distortion, compressive, or tensile, can efficiently alter the intrinsic electrocatalytic property of the catalysts. In this work, we report a novel and effective strategy to distort the lattice structure by constructing a metastable MoSSe solid

This study investigated inhibitory effects of N,N-unsubstituted selenourea derivatives on tyrosinase activity. Three types of N,N-unsubstituted selenoureas derivatives exhibited inhibitory effect on dopa (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) oxidase activity of mushroom tyrosinase. Compound D at a concentration of 200 microM exhibited 55.5% of
