The inertness of elemental selenium is a significant obstacle in the synthesis of selenium-containing materials at low reaction temperatures. Over the years, several recipes have been developed to overcome this hurdle; however, most of the methods are associated with the use of highly toxic, expensive, and environmentally harmful reagents. As such, there is an increasing demand for the design of cheap, stable, and nontoxic reactive selenium precursors usable in the low-temperature synthesis of transition metal selenides with vast applications in nanotechnology, thermoelectrics, and superconductors. Herein, a novel synthetic route has been developed for activating elemental selenium by using a solvothermal approach. By comprehensive ⁷⁷Se NMR, Raman, and infrared spectroscopies and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, we show that the activated Se solution contained HSe^–, [Se–Se]^2–, and Se^2– ions, as well as dialkyl selenide (R₂Se) and dialkyl diselenide (R–Se–Se–R) species in dynamic equilibrium. This also corresponded to the first observation of naked Se₂^2– in solution. The versatility of the developed Se precursor was demonstrated by the successful synthesis of (i) the polycrystalline room-temperature modification of the β-Ag₂Se thermoelectric material; (ii) large single crystals of superconducting β-FeSe; (iii) CdSe nanocrystals with different particle sizes (3–10 nm); (iv) nanosheets of PtSe₂; and (v) mono- and dibenzyl selenides and diselenides at room temperature. In conclusion, The simplicity and diversity of the developed Se activation method holds promise for applied and fundamental research.
