Hi. I made cobalt selenite again and also anhydrous selenite.

Those are spectacular colors! How did you make them? Do you have a procedure posted in another thread? I'd like to try this myself.

also, cobalt selenite precipitation is a little bit hard than Cu and Ni selenites. I dissolved sodium selenite and cobalt chloride hydrates in hot water. then I mixed the solution but nothing precipitated, then I poured the mixture into another beaker and there was cold water. then it precipitated instantly. From my experience, you cant make the compound with a high yield just dissolve compounds in hot or cold water and mix them.


Hi. this is the procedure.

TITANIUM SELENITE(?)


We know that many compounds of Ti(III) are unstable, for example hydroxide, tungstate... but yesterday i mix some titanium trichloride and sodium selenite solutions, it is logical to think that titanium can reduce selenite to red selenium in the solution. but when I tried this reaction in a test tube it wasn't red allotropy.

i made more, then i filtered it and put on petri dish, i can dry it with other methods, but i use sunlight, because if there was any red selenium or it was red selenium precipitate it must turn black color. onced i tryed to dry red alotropy under sunlight and it takes 30 minute to be black.

unfortunately i couldn't find any info about trivalent selenite.

Maybe the reduction by titanium(III) is so vigorous, that the selenium is reduced all the way down to selenide. That would lead to TiSe2. I don't know the properties of that.

I'm not sure 100% about what it is, These are just my assumptions. bad thing is that I couldn't find any info. so ill put all of my powder in nitric acid and make some titanium dioxide hydrate. I have TiO2 but you know it's very inert, because of its calcinated temperature. and ill make some Ti(IV) complexes, just more logical valency to work with.

Selenides of titanium may be alloy-like, TiSex, rather than salt-like. Selenium is not terribly electronegative. TiS2 is a conductor IIRC.

yes, many possible formulas, selenide, polyselenide, selenite, and different valency of titanium... unfortunately I can't make an analysis now. but worth to try I think, but I don't recommend it for forum members. I just hate when I have chemical and I don't know exactly what it is. thanks, everyone for your ideas!
