The diselenide bond is an important chemical bond formed by two selenium atoms sharing a pair of electrons. Because the electronegativity of selenium atom is low, the bond energy of diselenide bond is low, so it has the characteristics of strong reactivity and easy to break. In polymer materials, the dynamic chemical properties of diselenide bond make it have a wide application prospect. The dynamic chemical properties of diselenide bond are mainly manifested in its easy fracture and formation. In polymer materials, diselenide bond fracture can be achieved by external stimuli (such as light, heat, electricity, etc.) or chemical reactions. For example, through the action of photosensitizer initiator, polymer materials containing diselenide bonds can be broken under ultraviolet irradiation, so as to achieve controlled degradation of materials. In addition to breaking, diselenide bonds can also form new bonds. In polymer materials, diselenide bonds can form new bonds by free radical reaction or nucleophilic substitution reaction. For example, through free radical reactions, polymer materials containing diselenide bonds can be reacted with other free radical reactants to form new bonds and achieve cross-linking or modification of materials. In addition, diselenide bonds can also form new bonds through nucleophilic substitution reactions, such as in the presence of nucleophilic reagents, diselenide bonds can be replaced, so as to achieve the functionalization or modification of materials.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
