Recent Advances in Organoselenium Chemistry (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 11/2009)

The cover picture shows the Earth rising above the Moon's horizon taken in June 1969 from the Apollo 11 spacecraft. As Selene is the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology, some very recent news on selenium chemistry is shown on the Post-It and much more is contained in the Microreview entitled Recent Advances in Organoselenium Chemistry by T. Wirth et al. on p. 1649 ff. The X-ray structures of a selenium-containing macrocycle (left structure, Kamigata et al.[13]) and a selenirenium ion (right structure, Poleschner et al.[67b]) shown in the foreground are taken from the literature references.
