Thulium(III) selenide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Tm2Se3.

Preparation[edit]

Thulium(III) selenide can be obtained by the reaction of thulium and selenium:[3]

2 Tm + 3 Se → Tm2Se3

It can also be prepared by reacting thulium oxide and hydrogen selenide at high temperature:[3]

Tm2O3 + 3 H2Se → Tm2Se3 + 3 H2O

Thulium(III) selenide is also generated in the thermal decomposition of (py)3Tm(SePh)3.[2]

Preparation[edit]

In the binary system of thulium(III) selenide and antimony triselenide, TmSb3Se6, Tm6Sb8Se21, TmSbSe3 and Tm8Sb2Se15 can be formed.[4]
