The first diselenobenzoquinone has been isolated as the stable complex [Cp*Ir(η 4 ‐C 6 H 4 Se 2 )], as confirmed by X‐ray analysis. H. Amouri and co‐workers also describe the anticancer activity of this complex in their Communication on page 7530 ff. The diseleno complex is cytotoxic and has activity that is comparable to that of cisplatin.
