Organomercurials including methylmercury are highly toxic to humans. In their Communication on page 9323 ff., G. Roy and co‐workers describe a novel pathway to detoxify various organomercurials using N ‐methylimidazole‐based thiones/selones. Less‐toxic insoluble HgS and HgSe nanoparticles are formed under physiologically relevant conditions when organomercurials are treated with N ‐methylimidazole‐based thiones/selones having an N ‐CH 2 CH 2 OH substituent.
