Abstract
Solubility in the (Me4N)2SeO4-H2SeO4-H2O and (Me4N)2SeO4-Li2SeO4-H2O systems were studied. The new compounds, tetramethylammonium hydrogenselenate monohydrate ((Me4N)HSeO4·H2O) and lithium tetramethylammonium selenate tetrahydrate (Li(Me4N)SeO4·4H2O), have been found in these systems. Both substances were characterised by chemical analysis and IR molecular spectroscopy. Both of the title substances decompose under the influence of X-radiation and, thus, their structures cannot be determined. The radiolysis of both substances was studied in greater detail. Tetramethylammonium hydrogenselenate monohydrate is dehydrated by X-radiation to form the anhydrous salt. The reaction is controlled by first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 1.30(3) × 10-3 s-1.
