Selenocyanate
A selenocyanate is an ion or chemical compound that contains the -SeCN group, which could be in the form of an anion, SeCN−. Organic selenocyanates also exist. Some complex ions with transition metals such as silver and mercury (mercuriselenocyanates) are known. Mercuriselenocyanate salts also include K, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd. Complex ions include Fe(NCSe)63−, Fe(NCSe)64−, Fe(NCSe)42−, Co(NCSe)64−, Co(NCSe)42−, Ni(NCSe)64−, Zn(NCSe)64−, Rh(NCSe)64−, Pd(NCSe)42−, Ag(SeCN)2−, Cd(NCSe)42−, Cd(NCSe)64−, Dy(NCSe)63−, Ho(NCSe)63−, Er(NCSe)63−, Pt(NCSe)62−, Au(NCSe)4−, and Hg(NCSe)42−. For hard metals, the negative charge is on the nitrogen atom which coordinates with the metal atom. Examples include Ti(NCSe)62−, V(NCSe)63−, VO(NCSe)42−, Cr(NCSe)63−, Mn(NCSe)42−, Mn(NCSe)42−, Y(NCSe)63−, Zr(NCSe)62−, Mo(NCSe)63−, Pr(NCSe)63−, Nd(NCSe)63−, Sm(NCSe)63−, Hf(NCSe)62−, Re2(NCSe)82−, Pa(NCSe)84− and U(NCSe)84−.

KSeCN
Potassium selenocyanate is the inorganic compound with the formula KSeCN. It is a hygroscopic white solid that is soluble in water, decomposing in air to red selenium and potassium cyanide. The compound has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, which confirms that it is a salt. The C-N and C-Se distances are 112 and 183 pm, respectively consistent with triple and single bonds. Synthesis and reactions Potassium selenocyanate is produced by the reaction of molten potassium cyanide with elemental selenium. Organic selenocyanates are often prepared by treatment of potassium selenocyanate with alkyl halides or aryl diazonium salts. Potassium selenocyanate serves as a source of Se0, e.g., in its reaction with triphenylphosphine to give triphenylphosphine selenide Triphenylphosphine selenide is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (C6H5)3PSe. It is a white solid which is soluble in most organic solvents. The compound is used in the preparation of other selenium c ...

Thiocyanate
Thiocyanate (also known as rhodanide) is the anion . It is the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid. Common derivatives include the colourless salts potassium thiocyanate and sodium thiocyanate. Mercury(II) thiocyanate was formerly used in pyrotechnics. Thiocyanate is analogous to the cyanate ion, , wherein oxygen is replaced by sulfur. is one of the pseudohalides, due to the similarity of its reactions to that of halide ions. Thiocyanate used to be known as rhodanide (from a Greek word for rose) because of the red colour of its complexes with iron. Thiocyanate is produced by the reaction of elemental sulfur or thiosulfate with cyanide: : 8 CN- + S8 -> 8 SCN- : CN- + S2O3^2- -> SCN- + SO3^2- The second reaction is catalyzed by thiosulfate sulfurtransferase, a hepatic mitochondrial enzyme, and by other sulfur transferases, which together are responsible for around 80% of cyanide metabolism in the body. Biological chemistry of thiocyanate in medicine Thiocyanate is known to be ...

Cyanate
Cyanate is an anion with the structural formula , usually written . It also refers to any salt containing it, such as ammonium cyanate. It is an isomer of the much less stable fulminate anion .William R. Martin and David W. Ball (2019): "Small organic fulminates as high energy materials. Fulminates of acetylene, ethylene, and allene". ''Journal of Energetic Materials'', volume 31, issue 7, pages 70-79. A cyanate ester is an organic compound containing the cyanate group. The cyanate ion is an ambidentate ligand, forming complexes with a metal ion in which either the nitrogen or oxygen atom may be the electron-pair donor. It can also act as a bridging ligand. Cyanate ion The three atoms in a cyanate ion lie on a straight line, giving the ion a linear structure. The electronic structure is described most simply as : :Ö̤−C≡N: with a single C−O bond and a triple C≡N bond. The infrared spectrum of a cyanate salt has a band at ca. 2096 cm−1; such a high frequen ...

Indian Mustard
''Brassica juncea'', commonly brown mustard, Chinese mustard, Indian mustard, leaf mustard, Oriental mustard and vegetable mustard, is a species of mustard plant. Cultivar ''Brassica juncea'' cultivars can be divided into four major subgroups: integrifolia, juncea, napiformis, and tsatsai. Integrifolia Juncea Napiformis Tsatsai Uses Nutrition In a reference serving, cooked mustard greens provide of food energy and are a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value) of vitamins vitamin A, A, vitamin C, C, and vitamin K, K—K being especially high as a multiple of its Daily Value. Mustard greens are a moderate source of vitamin E and calcium. Greens are 92% water, 4.5% carbohydrates, 2.6% protein and 0.5% fat (table). Cuisine The leaves, seeds, and stems of this mustard variety are edible. The plant appears in some form in African cuisine, African, Bangladeshi cuisine, Bangladeshi, Chinese cuisine, Chinese, Filipino cuisine, Filipino, Italian cuis ...

Selenocystine
Selenocystine is the amino acid with the formula . It is the oxidized derivative of the canonical amino acid selenocysteine (). The compound can also be prepared synthetically from serine. Because selenocysteine is not easily isolated or handled, it is often generated by reduction of selenocystine in situ. The selenium–selenium bond length is 2.321 Å, which is 14% longer than the disulfide bond in cystine Cystine is the oxidized derivative of the amino acid cysteine and has the formula (SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H)2. It is a white solid that is poorly soluble in water. As a residue in proteins, cystine serves two functions: a site of redox reactions and a me ... at 2.040 Å.

Selenomethionine
Selenomethionine (SeMet) is a naturally occurring amino acid. The L-selenomethionine enantiomer is the main form of selenium found in Brazil nuts, cereal grains, soybeans, and grassland legumes, while ''Se''-methylselenocysteine, or its γ-glutamyl derivative, is the major form of selenium found in ''Astragalus'', ''Allium'', and ''Brassica'' species. ''In vivo'', selenomethionine is randomly incorporated instead of methionine. Selenomethionine is readily oxidized. Selenomethionine's antioxidant activity arises from its ability to deplete reactive oxygen species. Selenium and methionine also play separate roles in the formation and recycling of glutathione, a key endogenous antioxidant in many organisms, including humans. Substitution chemistry issues Selenium and sulfur are chalcogens that share many chemical properties so the substitution of methionine with selenomethionine may have only a limited effect on protein structure and function. However, the incorporation of selen ...
