Summary
The selenite anion forms complexes with nickel(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II), chromium(III) and iron(III). The i.r. spectra of the compounds suggest that the complexes contain the bridging selenito-O,O′ group. The electronic absorption spectra and the magnetic moments of the complexes show that they are polymeric and have distorted octahedral configurations. As the reaction medium was slightly alkaline, basic selenites were obtained instead of the simple selenites.
