Doing things by halves : The dimeric compound (Cp′Ni) 2 (μ 2 ‐Se 2 ) (Cp′=1,2,3,4‐tetraisopropylcyclopentadienyl), shown in the scheme, was investigated by using low temperature X‐ray crystallography and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. The Se K‐edge energy strongly indicates a Se physical oxidation state of −1.5, consistent with an unprecedented two‐center/three‐electron half‐bonded Se 2 3− or “subselenide” ion.
