The elusive wurtzite polymorph of MnSe, the end member of the magnetic solid semiconductor solution Zn 1‐ x Mn x Se, was synthesized for the first time as colloidal nanoparticles. In their Communication on page 4638 ff., R. E. Schaak et al. describe the chemical low‐temperature synthesis of this previously unknown compound in high yields. The material has an optical bandgap of 3.5–3.8 eV, and there are indications of antiferromagnetic ordering at 64 K.
