Sodium selenite, Na2SeO3

M. S. Wickleder

Abstract: The title compound, Na2SeO3, contains two crystallographically different Na+ ions, Na1 and Na2. Na1 is coordinated by four monodentate and one chelating SeO32- group, while two monodentate and two chelating selenite ions are attached to Na2. For both Na+ ions, a strongly distorted octahedral coordination results. The [NaO6] octahedra are linked via common edges. The SeO32- ion shows a pyramidal shape, due to the lone electron pair of the Se atom.
