Nucleophilic attack of [Pt 2 (μ‐Se) 2 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] on dihaloalkanes gives stable diselenolato complexes, which release macrocyclic diselenoethers upon treatment with dihaloalkanes. The overhead‐bridged diplatinum intermediates have been isolated and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
