General description

Dimethyl diselenide is a volatile selenium species and its determination in biological samples by HPLC-inductively coupled argon plasma mass spectrometry was reported. Selenium alkylation with dimethyl diselenide was reported by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Application

Dimethyl diselenide is the most powerful reagent used to identify distonic radical cations.

If volatile organoselenides are to be analyzed for their stable Se isotope composition to elucidate sources and formation processes, organoselenides need to be trapped quantitatively to avoid artificial Se isotope fractionation. We developed an efficient trap of organoselenides to be
