Selenium mustard

Selenium mustard (Bis(2-chloroethyl) selenide) is a haloalkyl derivative of selenium, related to vesicant chemical agents such as sulfur mustard and nitrogen mustard. Selenium mustard is somewhat less toxic than its relatives and has not been used as a chemical warfare agent, however it is still a potent alkylating agent and has potential uses in chemotherapy.[1][2][3][4][5]
