Selenium reacts with fluorine with a weak visible chemiluminescence between 3800 and 8900 A(ring). Identical spectra are obtained regardless of whether the source of selenium is the elemental vapor or hydrogen selenide. By analogy with C10, TeF, and reevaluated SF absorption data, the SeF band system is assigned to transitions between inverted 2Π states. The spectroscopic constants for the A 2Π3/2 to X 2Π3/2 system are: Te=14 680.4 cm−1, ω‘e =688.8 cm−1, ωex‘e =1.84 cm−1, ω'e =444.1 cm−1, and ωexe =2.93 cm−1. The weak 2Π1/2 to 2Π1/2 subband is described by the constants: Te =15 025.4 cm−1, ω‘e =683.0 cm−1, ωex‘e =2.11 cm−1, ω'e =436.9 cm−1, and ωexe =1.20 cm−1. Laser excitation spectra were recorded for the SeF chemiluminescence flame. The SeF fluorescence between 4200 and 5200 A(ring) is rapidly quenched with increasing total pressure. A Stern–Volmer analysis gave a zero pressure lifetime of 12.8±3.9 μs. The measured quenching rate of 2.5×106 s−1 Torr−1 is nearly gas kinetic.
