thioethers and thioureas are well characterized. Related complexes of tellurium dichloride
are known.

Structure of SeCl2(tetrahydrothiophene)2.[1]

Solutions of selenium dichloride are unstable at room temperature, forming selenium monochloride after several minutes at room temperature:[2]

3 SeCl2 → Se2Cl2 + SeCl4
