The molecular and crystal structure of boron difluoride acetylacetonates containing selenophenyl (1), diselenide (2) and selenocyanate groups (3) at the central carbon atom (γ) has been determined. As a result of comparing the structure of selenium- and sulfur-substituted complexes, it is shown that the replacement of a sulfur atom with a selenium atom practically does not change the relative position of substituents and chelate cycles, as well as the values of the main angles. The packing of complexes 2 and 3 in crystals repeats the packing of sulfur-containing analogues. For phenyl-substituted selenide and sulfide, the crystals are not isostructural. In the diselenide complex 2 molecules crystallize in pairs with one chelate cycle of each molecule participating in pair formation. The pairs are linked by an interaction similar to the stacking interaction. The second chelate cycle of each molecule in the pair does not participate in intermolecular interactions. In the acetylacetonate complexes studied, the chelate rings are not planar. These cycles have a “boat” conformation. The magnitude of bending of the cycle is determined by intermolecular interactions.

Growing soybeans requires adjustment of micronutrient nutrition on poorly fertile soils. Foliar fertilization can overcome the deficiency of micronutrients in plants in the most important period. Three factorial field experiment to study foliar fertilization with complex micronutrients, seed inoculation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum in two soybean varieties (Kassidy and ES Mentor) was conducted. Foliar fertilization with Quantum oil and WUXAL Oilseed significantly increased certain elements in soybean yield structure. Fertilizer WUXAL Oilseed with a higher concentration of Mo, Mn and B more effectively increased the number of pods and seeds from the plant and formed a higher yield in soybeans. Foliar fertilization with WUXAL Oilseed and Quantum oil increased seed yield to 3.00 t ha-1 and 2.94 t ha-1 , respectively in regard to variant without fertilizing, where yield was 2.71 t ha-1 . Variety Kassidy had greater number of pods and seeds, seed weight in comparison to foliar fertilizing ES Mentor. Seed inoculation gaves a stable increase in yield under different foliar fertilizations in varieties Kassidy and ES Mentor.
