Naturforsch. 38b, 1072-1073 (1983); eingegangen am 19. Mai 1983 Molecular Structure, Selenium(II) Chloride, Gas Electron Diffraction The electron diffraction pattern of the vapor from a sample of SeCU has been recorded with a reservoir and nozzle temperature of about 175 °C. The gas jet was found to consist of SeCl2 (80%) and Cl2 (20%). The bond distance in SeCl2 is r a (Se-Cl) = 2.157(3) Ä, the valence angle
